Performs Density Cumulant Functional Theory computations
The algorithm to use for the density cumulant and orbital updates in the DCFT energy computation. Two-step algorithm (default) is usually more efficient for small systems, but for large systems the simultaneous algorithm is recommended. In the cases where the convergence problems are encountered (especially for highly symmetric systems) QC algorithm can be used.
- Type: string
- Possible Values: TWOSTEP, SIMULTANEOUS, QC
- Default: SIMULTANEOUS
Controls whether to avoid the AO->MO transformation of the two-electron integrals for the four-virtual case (<VV||VV>) by computing the corresponding terms in the AO basis. AO_BASIS = DISK algorithm reduces the memory requirements and can significantly reduce the cost of the energy computation if SIMULTANEOUS algorithm is used. For the TWOSTEP algorithm, however, AO_BASIS = DISK option is not recommended due to the extra I/O.
- Type: string
- Possible Values: NONE, DISK
- Default: DISK
Chooses appropriate DCFT method
- Type: string
- Possible Values: DC-06, DC-12, ODC-06, ODC-12, CEPA0
- Default: DC-06
Value of RMS of the density cumulant residual and SCF error vector below which DIIS extrapolation starts. Same keyword controls the DIIS extrapolation for the solution of the response equations.
- Type: conv double
- Default: 1e-3
Convergence criterion for the density cumulant and orbital guess for the variationally orbital-optimized DCFT methods. Currently only available for ALGORITHM = SIMULTANEOUS.
- Type: conv double
- Default: 1e-3
Maximum number of the macro- or micro-iterations for both the energy and the solution of the response equations
- Type: integer
- Default: 40
Whether to perform a guess DC-06 or DC-12 computation for ODC-06 or ODC-12 methods, respectively. Currently only available for ALGORITHM = SIMULTANEOUS.
- Type: boolean
- Default: false
Controls whether to include the coupling terms in the DCFT electronic Hessian (for ALOGRITHM = QC with QC_TYPE = SIMULTANEOUS only)
- Type: boolean
- Default: false
Chooses the type of the quadratically-convergent algorithm (effective for ALGORITHM = QC). If set to TWOSTEP the Newton-Raphson equations are only solved for the orbital updates, the cumulant is updated using the standard Jacobi algorithm. If set to SIMULTANEOUS both cumulant and orbitals are updated in a single Newton-Raphson step.
- Type: string
- Possible Values: TWOSTEP, SIMULTANEOUS
- Default: SIMULTANEOUS
The algorithm to use for the solution of the response equations for the analytic gradients and properties
- Type: string
- Possible Values: TWOSTEP, SIMULTANEOUS
- Default: TWOSTEP
Convergence criterion for the RMS of the residual vector in the density cumulant updates, as well as the solution of the density cumulant and orbital response equations. In the orbital updates controls the RMS of the SCF error vector
- Type: conv double
- Default: 1e-10
Controls how to cache quantities within the DPD library
- Type: integer
- Default: 2
The amount (percentage) of damping to apply to the orbital update procedure: 0 will result in a full update, 100 will completely stall the update. A value around 20 (which corresponds to 20% of the previous iteration’s density being mixed into the current iteration) can help in cases where oscillatory convergence is observed.
- Type: double
- Default: 0.0
Whether to read the orbitals from a previous computation, or to compute an MP2 guess
- Type: string
- Possible Values: CC, BCC, MP2, DCFT

- Default: 6
Minimum number of error vectors stored for DIIS extrapolation
- Type: integer
- Default: 3
Controls whether to ignore terms containing non-idempotent contribution to OPDM or not (for debug puproses only). For practical applications only the default must be used
- Type: boolean
- Default: false
Minimum absolute value below which integrals are neglected
- Type: conv double
- Default: 1e-14
Controls whether to relax the orbitals during the energy computation or not (for debug puproses only). For practical applications only the default must be used
- Type: boolean
- Default: true
The shift applied to the denominator in the orbital update iterations
- Type: double
- Default: 0.0
Controls whether to relax the guess orbitals by taking the guess density cumulant and performing orbital update on the first macroiteration (for ALOGRITHM = TWOSTEP only)
- Type: boolean

- Type: boolean
