Simulations of electronically nonadiabatic processes may employ either the adiabatic or diabatic representation. Direct dynamics calculations are usually carried out in basis because energy, force, and state coupling can be evaluated directly by many electronic structure methods. However, although its straightforwardness is appealing, direct expensive when combined with quantitatively accurate theories. This generates interest analytically fitted surfaces to cut expense, but cuspidal ridges...
