The recently proposed ADIIS and LIST methods for accelerating self-consistent field (SCF) convergence are compared to the previously proposed energy-DIIS (EDIIS) + DIIS technique. We here show mathematically that the ADIIS functional is identical to EDIIS for Hartree-Fock wavefunctions. Convergence failures of EDIIS + DIIS reported in the literature are not reproduced with our codes. We also show that when correctly implemented, the EDIIS + DIIS method is generally better than the LIST methods, at least for the cases previously examined in the literature. We conclude that, among the family of DIIS methods, EDIIS + DIIS remains the method of choice for SCF convergence acceleration.

A novel doubly iterative self-consistent field (SCF) approach using a semiempirical model Hamiltonian (denoted as the SMH algorithm) is proposed to accelerate the Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This method first constructs the Fock matrix exactly in each SCF macroiteration, followed by a few SCF microiterations, where the Fock matrix is incrementally updated using an inexpensive semiempirical approximation. This leads to an improved wave function in each SCF macroiteration with minimal additional cost, and therefore a reduced number of exact Fock builds is required for SCF convergence.

Based on Pulay's direct inversion iterative subspace (DIIS) approach, we present a method to accelerate self-consistent field (SCF) convergence. In this method, the quadratic augmented Roothaan-Hall (ARH) energy function, proposed recently by Høst and co-workers [J. Chem.
