Comment on "Efficient implementation of the superposition of atomic potentials initial guess for electronic structure calculations in Gaussian basis sets"

Abstract

In J. Chem. Phys. 152, 144105 (2020) Lehtola et al introduced the efficient Gaussian-basis representation of Superposition of Atomic Potentials (SAP) which "can be easily implemented in any Gaussian-basis quantum chemistry code in terms of two-electron integrals". Here we demonstrate that it is possible to evaluate Gaussian AO representation of SAP by nearly trivial modification of one-electron nuclear attraction integrals.
