Calculations
GVB code in some programs, particularly GAMESS (US), can also be used to do a variety of restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock calculations, such as those with one or three electrons in two pi-electron molecular orbitals while retaining the degeneracy of the orbitals. This wave function is essentially a two-determinant function, rather than the one-determinant function of the restricted Hartree-Fock method.

Famous quotes containing the word calculations:
“What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
“Heaven’s calculations don’t follow man’s calculations.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Nowhere are our calculations more frequently upset than in war.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
