The essential features of a full potential electronic structure method using
Linear Muffin-Tin Orbitals (LMTOs) are presented. The electron density and
potential in the this method are represented with no inherent geometrical
approximation. This method allows the calculation of total energies and forces
with arbitrary accuracy while sacrificing much of the efficiency and physical
content of approximate methods such as the LMTO-ASA method.Comment: 25 pages, 2 figures, Workshop on the TB-LMTO method, Monastery of
