Abstract
An analysis of the self-consistent field electronic structure problem using augmented Lagrangian method was presented. A method of constrained minimization for nonlinear energy functional minimization and linear models was also developed. The method efficiently treated large molecules to be scaled linearly with the system size. The performance was observed on linear alkane and polyene chains.
