We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Canonical tensor products as a generalization of Gaussian-type orbitals

Abstract
We propose a possible generalization of Gaussian-type orbital (GTO) bases by means of canonical tensor products. The present work focus on the application of tensor product as an alternative to conventional GTO based density fitting schemes. Tensor product approximation leads to highly nonlinear optimization problems which require sophisticated algorithms. We give a brief description of the optimization problem and algorithm. The present work extends our previous paper [S. R. Chinnamsetty, M. Espig, B. N. Khoromskij, W. Hackbusch and H.-J. Flad, J. Chem. Phys. 127 (2007), 084110], where we discussed tensor product approximations of the electron density and the Hartree potential, to orbital products which are required for the exchange part of Hartree-Fock and in post Hartree-Fock methods. We provide a detailed error analysis for the Coulomb and exchange terms in Hartree-Fock calculations. Furthermore, a comparison is given between all-electron and pseudopotential calculations.
