"Linear-Scaling Techniques in Computational Chemistry and Physics"
summarizes recent progresses in linear-scaling techniques and their
applications in chemistry and physics. In order to meet the needs of a
broad community of chemists and physicists, the book focuses on recent
advances that extended the scope of possible exploitations of the
theory.
The first chapter provides an overview of the present state of the
linear-scaling methodologies and their applications, outlining hot
topics in this field, and pointing to expected developments in the near
future. This general introduction is then followed by several review
chapters written by experts who substantially contributed to recent
developments in this field.
The purpose of this book is to review, in a systematic manner, recent
developments in linear-scaling methods and their applications in
computational chemistry and physics. Great emphasis is put on the
theoretical aspects of linear-scaling methods.
This book serves as a handbook for theoreticians, who are involved in
the development of new efficient computational methods as well as for
scientists, who are using the tools of computational chemistry and
physics in their research.
