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.
