Abstract

In any ab initio molecular orbital calculations, the major task involves the computation of the so-called molecular multi-center integrals. Multi-center integral calculations is a very challenging mathematical problem in nature. Quantum mechanics only determines which integrals we evaluate, but the techniques employed for their evaluations are entirely mathematical. The three-center nuclear attraction integrals occur in a very large number even for small molecules and are among of the most difficult molecular integrals to compute efficiently. In the present contribution, we report analytical expressions for the three-center nuclear attraction integrals over exponential type functions. We describe how to compute the formula to obtain an efficient evaluation in double precision arithmetic. This requires the rational minimax approximants that minimize the maximum error on the interval of evaluation.
