Description and Table of Contents

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.
