Obtaining more advanced models is carried out on the basis of a single variational principle, which allows you to see the hierarchy of models and trace the limits of applicability of various approximations. The solution of systems of nonlinear equations arising in the construction of self-consistent field models requires the development of special iterative methods in which various physical approximations are widely used. Particular attention is paid to bottlenecks that require a lot of computer time, which allows you to build efficient and reliable algorithms.
