We discuss how the local convergence of Newton-Raphson and fixed Hessian MCSCF iterative models may be rationalized in terms of a total order of convergence in an error vector and a corresponding error term. We demonstrate that a sequence of N Newton-Raphson iterations has a total order of convergence of 2N and that a sequence of N fixed Hessian iterations has a total order of convergence of N + 1. We derive the error terms of a Newton-Raphson and a fixed Hessian sequence of iterations. We discuss the implementation of the fixed Hessian and the Newton-Raphson approaches both when linear and nonlinear transformations of the variables are carried out. Sample calculations show that insight into the structure of the local convergence of Newton-Raphson and fixed Hessian models can be based on an order of convergence and an error term analysis.
