Rigorous bounds to molecular electron repulsion and electrostatic potential integrals

Abstract
Novel rigorous upper and lower bounds, at primitive level, to general electron‐repulsion integrals (ERIs) involving Gaussian basis sets have been derived and interconnections with the earlier works in the literature are brought out. New optimal strategies for a preemptive elimination of insignificant ERIs at atom and contraction levels are discussed and tested, resulting in a significant reduction in CPU time. Similar analysis is carried out for the computation of the molecular electrostatic potential for the first time in the literature, leading to a marked savings in computer time.
