A robust algorithm to locate automatically all types of critical points in the charge density and its Laplacian

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The location of critical points in the charge density and its Laplacian using the Newton-Raphson technique can be unsatisfactory for molecules and molecular complexes with a more challenging topology. An eigenvector following method is proposed to locate reliably all types of critical points without the need for good starting points. A completely automatic algorithm for the full analysis of critical points has been implemented in the program MORPHY. © 1994.
