Description
The main subjects are:
- a comprehensive mathematical description of molecular systems,
- a new reaction path concept,
- an algorithm for following the reaction path.
The reaction path's tangent is determined by an excitation vector and the saddle points surrounding a minimizer can be localized without further information. A procedure appropriate to trace these reaction paths is presented.
