Abstract

The paper focuses on a low-rank tensor structured representation of Slatertype and Hydrogen-like orbital basis functions that can be used in electronic structure calculations. Standard packages use the Gaussian-type basis functions which allow us to analytically evaluate the necessary integrals. Slater-type and Hydrogen-like orbital functions are physically more appropriate, but they are not analytically integrable. A numerical integration is too expensive when using the standard discretization techniques due the dimensionality of the problem. However, it can be effectively performed using the tensor representation of basis functions. Furthermore, this approach can take advantage of parallel computing.
