Dear Dirac Experts,


I attempted GAS-CI calculation for non-symmetric geometry of UO2(H2O)5(2+) (*), with SORECP and def-TZVPP basis. The output (attached) ends with

"(GASCIP_RCISTD) Anti-hermiticity of reduced Hamiltonian (real,imag) 3.821D+00 3.036D+00

 FATAL ERROR, this is greater than threshold 1.000D-09"

Aside to the attached CAS(6,7), I have tried CAS(6,9) and CAS(12,12)  (thank you very much Kirk, the fall was due to the memory requirements, with  --mw=12000 --aw=15000 and 125GB in PBS script it works.) 
Except it subsequently falls on abov mentioned anti-hermicity after the first CI iteration, unfortunately (as in CAS(6,7) and CAS(6,9) cases).

I have tried to disable the two-electron integral screening as I supposed that the anti-hermicity must be some numerical artifact (?), but it didn't work. What should I do, please?

For D5h geometry (represented as C2v **) GAS-CI calculation worked for me (with different orbital spaces, more general than CAS, however)


Best regards,
Jakub Visnak

Dear Jakub,
Interesting. Have you had success with a smaller basis set?
With best wishes,
Nike

Dear Jakun,

This looks like a bug that one of the CI developers should have a look at. I'll post this also on our developer list and see whether somebody has time to take a closer look. I'm insufficiently familiar with the GASCIP module to say offhand what is causing the problem and whether there is a work-around for the current release.

best reagrds,

Luuk

Dear  Dirac Experts, 

now I have faced the same error message for C1* geometry of NUHFI molecule
 computationals: double-zeta basis set,  4c-CASCI(4,4)   (with GASCIP, as LUCIAREL is not implemented yet for C1*)

The error is " Master node : --- SEVERE ERROR, PROGRAM WILL BE ABORTED ---

 Date and time (Linux) : Sun Apr 25 13:59:33 2021
 Anti-hermiticity of red. Ham. > threshold

what should be the work-around, please?
Do you think that FCIDUMP/MO_integrals might be affected by the same bug for the C1* geometries? 
Because the integrals we obtained does not lead to reasonable DMRG energies (lower than reasonable by several orders of magnitude).



Best regards,
Jakub

P.S.: Dear Luuk, did you obtain any information from the Developers on this topic, please?
P.S.II:  This molecule has been already investigated in an article  [1], including 4c-CCSD.

Dear Jakub,

thanks for the inputs. I am currently looking into this issue but even with the DZ basis sets the calculations take some time. 
For the ground state I am getting a reference KRCI energy for the CAS(4,4) case of 
-35329.57894973 Hartree 
Does that make sense to you?

with best regards
Stefan

Dear Jakub,

could you please try the attached FCIDUMP file? My DMRG reference energy is in this case
-35329.5789201008 Hartree
The SCF energy is
-35329.578892973397 Hartree

Note that the SCF/FCI energy is different from the one of my previous mail since I had to run the SCF on my DMRG development branch which still uses an older CODATA set 
for the physical constants (speed of light, …) than the current master/release branch of Dirac. 

with best regards
Stefan

p.s.: as to why the GASCIP sub-space Hamiltonian gets non-Hermitian, I can’t say yet.
