# *LUCITA¶

Spin-free relativistic GASCI module written by Jeppe Olsen, adaptation to DIRAC by Timo Fleig, parallelization by Stefan Knecht and Hans Joergen Aagaard Jensen.

LUCITA is a string-based Hamiltonian-direct configuration interaction (CI) program, based on the LUCIA code [Olsen1990]. It is capable of doing efficient CI computations at arbitrary excitation level, e.g. FCI, SDCI, RASCI, and MRCI using general active spaces. The code is interfaced [Fleig2005] to molecular integrals obtained in the spin-free Dirac formalism and uses non-relativistic point group symmetry. It is implemented as a full parallel version [Knecht2008].

A central feature of the program is the Generalized Active Space (GAS) concept, in which the underlying total orbital space is subdivided into a basically arbitrary number (save for an upper limit) of subspaces with arbitrary occupation constraints. This is the most general approach to orbital space subdivisions. The program uses DIRAC orbitals from either a closed- or an open-shell calculation in a spin-free relativistic formalism or the non-relativistic Lévy-Leblond formalism (see **HAMILTONIAN).

The technical limitations are roughly set by several 100 million determinants in the CI expansion on PCs and common computing clusters and several billions of determinants on supercomputers with ample memory. The program also computes 1- and, if requested 2-particle densities from optimized CI wave functions. The density matrices may be printed along with natural orbital occupations and the corresponding eigenvectors (NOs).

### .GASSHE¶

Number and specification of GAS orbitals. Line with the number of GA spaces used (1-7), followed by one line per GAS with number of orbitals per boson symmetry, separated by commas. default: none. example for 2 GAS spaces and active orbital distribution when running in the $$D_{2h}$$ symmetry:
