Computing a molecule in its environment: A mathematical viewpoint

This article is the sequel of a previous survey where we presented the math ematical results rigorously known on the models used in quantum chemistry t o simulate an isolated molecular system. The emphasis here is on the models that take into account the environment of the molecule, namely, the models of the condensed phase and the models of interaction with electromagnetic fields. Some related issues are also dealt with. A bibliography of more tha n 150 references are provided. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
