[molpro-user] Problem with CC norm

[Kadir Diri]

Hi! I had the same problem in anon calculations and the shift keyword 
worked for me. I remember I spend a lot of time though, since I tried 
shift,N where N was 1, 2, 3,  etc; sometimes I had to use 5. And the 
calculations passed many cycles before they converged successfully with 
even reduced convergence criteria. In your case it might work better, 
since my calculations were on dipole-bound anions which are actually 
sometimes a trouble even for Hartree-Fock .
This question has been asked many times, here is a short but a useful 
explanation:
