Zusammenfassung:© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
We describe the formal algorithm and numerical applications of a novel convex quadratic programming (QP) strategy for performing the variational minimization that underlies natural resonance theory (NRT). The QP algorithm vastly improves the numerical efficiency, thoroughness, and accuracy of variational NRT description, which now allows uniform treatment of all reference structures at the high level of detail previously reserved only for leading "reference" structures, with little or no user guidance. We illustrate overall QPNRT search strategy, program I/O, and numerical results for a specific application to adenine, and we summarize more extended results for a data set of 338 species from throughout the organic, bioorganic, and inorganic domain. The improved QP-based implementation of NRT is a principal feature of the newly released NBO 7.0 program version. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
