摘要
A method is presented for reducing the number of primitives in a generally contracted basis set, to improve the efficiency of integral evaluation in a program that is designed for segmented contractions. The method involves a linear transformation of the generally contracted functions to minimize the value of a property that is evaluated over a subset of the primitives in the general contraction. The transformed orbital is truncated by removing the subset of primitives, and a cutoff on the property is used to determine the size of the subset. For the example of Pb in a double-zeta basis contracted for ZORA calculations, a reduction in the number of primitives of a factor of 2 in the s and p spaces and 1.3 in the d space was obtained with an error of 10 microhartrees in the total energy. The method is also compared with the P-orthogonalization method of Jensen.
