Abstract This paper discusses the approximate representation of the electron density produced by an ab initio calculation. A linear combination of Gaussians is fitted to the density by minimizing a functional which is the consequent error in field-energy. The practical implementation of the procedure, following a Gaussian 80 calculation, is described and some of the complications are analysed.
