Description
Finite element calculations have been performed in Cartesian coordinates using the density functional approach
for a number of small molecules. In order to aid convergence
of the orbitals and total energies a suitable cusp factor was employed, such that the resulting effective potential is non-singular at all nuclei. The resulting total energies
and densities were compared with those obtained using the Gaussian basis set package NWChem and excellent agreement was found.
