This study introduces a deterministic strategy using interval analysis to reliably find the global minimum energy structure of molecules. This method guarantees finding the most stable molecular configuration, crucial for understanding chemical properties.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Molecular Modeling
  • Chemical Physics

Background:

  • Determining a molecule's global minimum potential energy surface is critical for predicting its properties.
  • The vast number of local minima makes global minimization computationally challenging, especially for larger molecules.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a deterministic strategy for reliably solving global minimization problems in molecular potential energy surfaces.
  • To provide a mathematical and computational guarantee for finding the global minimum structure.

Main Methods:

  • The study employs interval analysis as the core mathematical framework.
  • The methodology is applied to global minimization problems of molecular potential energy surfaces.

  • The method was further demonstrated on problems with up to 11 atoms using a realistic potential energy function.

Conclusions:

  • The interval analysis-based strategy offers a robust and guaranteed approach to finding molecular global minima.
  • This method addresses the significant challenge posed by numerous local minima in complex molecular systems.
