"On the equivalence of LIST and DIIS methods for convergence acceleration." <i>The Journal of Chemical Physics,</i> 142, no. 16 (2015) AIP Publishing LLC.: http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4919283.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/94769Self-consistent field extrapolation methods play a pivotal role in quantum chemistry and electronic structure theory. We, here, demonstrate the mathematical equivalence between the recently proposed family of LIST methods [Wang et al., J. Chem. Phys. 134, 241103 (2011); Y. K. Chen and Y. A. Wang, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 7, 3045 (2011)] and the general form of Pulay’s DIIS [Chem. Phys. Lett. 73, 393 (1980); J. Comput. Chem. 3, 556 (1982)] with specific error vectors. Our results also explain the differences in performance among the various LIST methods.engArticle is made available in accordance with the publisher's policy and may be subject to US copyright law.
