Abstract:
The
PIPFit 2022 program can be used to develop
analytic representations of
potential energy surfaces for three-body and four-body systems. A
weighted least-squares fit is performed with permutationally invariant
polynomials (PIPs) whose variables are Morse-like bond functions, Gaussians,
mixed exponential–Gaussians (MEGs), or hyperbolic secant variables. Three kinds of fit can be performed with
the program:
o PIPs fit to the whole potential, as
originally proposed by Braams, Bowman, and Xie,
o connected PIPs fit to the whole
potential after removing the unconnected terms,
o connected PIPs fit to the many-body
part of the potential after
removing the unconnected terms and the two-body terms.
The
program can also perform a two-stage fit in which one first fits lower-level
energetic data with a large number of geometries and
then fits higher-level corrections with a smaller set of geometries.
