CP search: Newton Raphson Method NR method is suitable for the location of a CP only when one moves in a region where has the same structure (i.e. the same number of positive and negative eigenvalues) as the CP that is searched for. This is a problem, in particular with 2 field, since 2 generally varies quite rapidly in R3.

CP search: Eigenvector Following Method (*) EF method locates reliably all kind of CPs. The method seeks for the CPs of a given kind (e.g. 3,+3) regardless of the structure at the starting point. Separate searches for (3,-3), (3,-1), (3,+1) and (3,+3) CPs are implemented

III. Search strategies Fully automated and chain-like CP search • search of (3,-3) associated to nuclear maxima, starting from the nuclear position of each of the unique atoms of the unit cell • Not performed in TOPXD • search of all (3,-1) unique bcps associated to the unique bonded atom pairs within the cluster. Search started from internuclear axis midpoint. Non-nuclear (3,-3) attractors, if any, are recovered at this stage by determining the nature of the termini of the atomic interaction lines associated to the unique (3,-1) CPs found. • search of unique (3,+1) rcps by considering all unique nuclear triplets having at least two associated atoms bonded to each other and center of mass (with mass 1 given to any nucleus) not too differently distant from each of the three nuclei. CP search started from the center of mass. • search of unique (3,+3) CPs between all pairs of ring CPs.

Atomic interaction lines are generally determined with less than 80-130 integration steps and 500-1200 and evaluations. (*) debugif activated debug printing during the CP search
