Abstract:
The solution of the equation of motion coupled cluster singles and doubles problem, that is finding the lowest lying electronic transition energies and properties, is fundamentally a large non-Hermitian matrix diagonalization problem. We implemented and compared three variants of the widely diffuse generalized Davidson algorithm, which iteratively finds the lowest eigenvalues and eigenvectors of such a matrix. Our numerical tests, based on different molecular systems, basis sets, state symmetries, and reference functions, demonstrate that the separate evaluation of the left- and right-hand eigenvectors is the most efficient strategy to solve this problem considering storage, numerical stability, and convergence rate.

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
