Abstract

A comparison is made of the accuracy with which the total electronic energy can be calculated by using either the finite basis set approach (the algebraic approximation) or finite difference methods in calculations using the Hartree-Fock model for the ground (X1 Sigma +) state of the carbon monosulphide molecule. The CS molecule is considered as a prototype for systems containing atoms from different rows of the periodic table. The convergence of the calculations carried out within the algebraic approximation is monitored by employing systematically constructed basis sets of increasing size. The dependence of the finite difference calculations on the numerical grid employed is studied.
