In the Graphically Contracted Function Configuration Interaction (GCF-CI) method (previously denoted as a nonlinear expansion form for electronic wave functions), the wave function is a linear combination of GCFs, and each GCF is a linear combination of all the Configuration State Functions (CSFs). The CSF coefficients that define each GCF are nonlinear functions of the arc factors associated with the underlying Shavitt graph. This formulation is based on spin eigenfunctions using the Graphical Unitary Group Approach (GUGA). See JPCA, Vol. 113, 12741-12747 (2009) and references therein for the general methodology and for details most relevant to these web pages. For the latest developments see JCP, Vol. 141, 064105 (2014) and JCP, Vol. 141, 064106 (2014) .
These graphs require a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) enabled browser. As of 2018 native support for SVG exists in all modern web browsers. These graphs have the nodes labeled with the Paldus (a,b,c) triples, which is unconventional.
