The computations are carried out on a regular mesh in curvilinear space, which allows natural and efficient decomposition on parallel computers, and effective use of iterative numerical methods. A novel feature is the use of error analysis to optimize the curvilinear grid for highly inhomogeneous electronic distributions. We report accurate all-electron calculations for H-2, O, and O-2.en-USJournal Article2019-09-2010.1016/S0038-1098(96)80049-4
