Abstract:
A half-numeric algorithm for the evaluation of effective core potential integrals over Cartesian Gaussian functions is described. Local and semilocal integrals are separated into two-dimensional angular and one-dimensional radial integrals. The angular integrals are evaluated analytically using a general approach that has no limitation for the l-quantum number. The radial integrals are calculated by an adaptive one-dimensional numerical quadrature. For the semilocal radial part a pretabulation scheme is used. This pretabulation simplifies the handling of radial integrals, makes their calculation much faster, and allows their easy reuse for different integrals within a given shell combination. The implementation of this new algorithm is described and its performance is analyzed.
