When g = 0, an extreme is reached regardless of the accuracy of H-1, provided it is reasonable.

Problem 2:
• Get the Hessian H (or H-1)
Hessian has NxN = N2 elementsNormally second derivatives are computed numericallyHessian matrix is too expensive!
Use approximate Hessian:1. Compute H in inexpensive method (3-21G basis, e.g.)2. Do not compute. Use guess-and-update schemes (MS, BFGS)
