Dear Reza,
NoIncFock calculates the Fock-matrix from scratch at each SCF step,
which is expensive, but accurate.
IncFock approximates the Fock-matrix by adding up the changes due to the
density matrix change from consecutive steps of the SCF:
F(P_i) = F(P_i-1) + F(P_i - P_i-1), where P is the density.
This is faster than NoIncFock, and the approximation is a good one, if
the density changes are small, e.g. close to convergence, but may also
fail.
