CCL:G: incremental and nonincremental Fock matrix



 Sent to CCL by: Simen Reine [simen.reine_-_kjemi.uio.no]
 Hi Reza,
 
The Fock matrix F(D) consist of a one-electron, h, and a two-electron contributuion (that depends on the density-matrix D), G(D), accoring to
 F(D) = h + G(D).
 
In the non-incremental Fock matrix scheme the full Fock matrix is built in each SCF iteration, whereas in the incremental Fock matrix scheme the Fock matrix is built by adding only the two-electron correction (or increment) to the Fock matrix of the previous SCF iteration
 F(D) = F(D') + G(D'-D)
 
where D is the current and D' the previous density matrix. The incremental Fock matrix construction is typically much more efficient since the difference between the two densities is small - thus allowing for more efficient screening.
 Hope this helps!

 Dear all,
 
Do you have any idea about the exact meanning of incremental Fock matrix which is default setting for direct SCF. What's the non incremental fock matrix? here I put the Gaussian's manual which I don't understand: "IncFock: Forces use of incremental Fock matrix formation. This is the default for direct SCF. NoIncFock prevents the use of incremental Fock matrix formation, and it is the default for conventional SCF. ">
