Abstract
A constrained least-squares fit procedure wherein the integral F[ρ(r)-ρ0(r)]2 dr is minimized [ρ0(r) is the reference near-Hartree-Fock (NHF) electron density distribution and ρ(r) is the refined one obtained from a single Slater determinant] has been developed. The constraints applied are the exact theoretical ρ2 and r2 expectation values. These expectation values are expected to tailor the electron density around the nuclear and tail regions, respectively. The procedure has been applied to lithium and beryllium atoms as test cases. Nearly all the rn and pn (for n=-2, -1, 1, 3, 4, and 5) expectation values have been improved with use of this procedure. The sacrifice in the electronic energy, in comparison to the corresponding NHF one, is about 0.02% in both cases.
