CCL:G: Difference Between Two Different Types of Failure to Converge



 Sent to CCL by: "Abrash, Samuel" [sabrash(a)richmond.edu]
 Hi CCL Folks!
         I need some help understanding the difference between two different
 types of
 termination because of failure to converge.
         The first is the one I understand best.  In this case, the optimization
 is set to
 run a maxiumum number of Berny cycles, and after the full number of allowed
 cycles
 (in my case 100), one or more of the four convergence criteria is unfulfilled.
 For
 this type of problem I have a pretty good idea of what to do. 1) Look at the
 output
 file to see if the structures are physically reasonable and moving toward
 convergence.  2a)  If yes, just continue the job  2b) If no, try a different set
 of
 initial conditions, or modify the theory as needed. (Lots of options depending
 on
 the situation.)
         The second type of case is one where the failure to converge comes not
 on the final
 Berny cycle but on an early one.
         Here are the input file and the portion of the output file indicating
 the type of
 convergence failure for one of these jobs:

         The job runs successfully for the two UHF jobs.  Then on the second
 Berny cycle of
 the UPBEPBE/aug-cc-pVDZ there is a failure to converge.  The full output for the
 second cycle is:

         So I have two questions:
         1)  Is this a failure in geometric convergence, convergence of the
 integrals or
 what?  I really don't understand WHAT it is that isn't converging.
         2) What types of remedies are available when this occurs?  If you saw
 this in one
 of your jobs what would you do next?
         Thanks, and once again I appreciate your help.
         Best,
         Sam
