With this keyword the geometry optimization step is selected.
Options:
LEVENBERG / RFO / WALK / DESCENT
LEVENBERG
Levenberg-Marquardt.
RFO
Rational function optimization.
WALK
Potential energy surface walking.
DESCENT
Steepest descent.
Description:
By default deMon2k uses Levenberg-Marquardt steps [215,216] with robust
root finding [217] in the
structure optimization and the transition state search by the uphill trust
region method [196,197]. Alternatively, RFO [198] and WALK
[218] steps are available for restricted step method minimizations
[219]. For the transition state search the (P)-RFO step can be selected
as alternative to the default Levenberg-Marquardt step by specifying the RFO
option.
