Linear-Scaling Techniques in Computational Chemistry and Physics summarizes recent progresses
in linear-scaling techniques and their applications in chemistry and physics. In order to meet
the needs of a broad community of chemists and physicists the book focuses on recent advances
that extended the scope of possible exploitations of the theory. The first chapter provides an
overview of the present state of the linear-scaling methodologies and their applications
outlining hot topics in this field and pointing to expected developments in the near future.
This general introduction is then followed by several review chapters written by experts who
substantially contributed to recent developments in this field. The purpose of this book is to
review in a systematic manner recent developments in linear-scaling methods and their
applications in computational chemistry and physics. Great emphasis is put on the theoretical
aspects of linear-scaling methods. This book serves as a handbook for theoreticians who are
involved in the development of new efficient computational methods as well as for scientists
who are using the tools of computational chemistry and physics in their research.
