DOPI: triatomic ro-vibrational program package

DOPI computes ro-vibrational energy levels and wave functions of triatomic molecules. It is based on:
• Discrete variable representation (D)
• Sutcliffe–Tennyson Hamiltonian expressed in orthogonal (O) internal coordinates
• Direct-product basis (P)
• Iterative (I) eigensolver

GENIUSH computes ro-vibrational energy levels and wave functions for polyatomic molecules. The key features of GENIUSH are:
• General (GE), full- and reduced-dimensional DVR-based technique
• Numerically (N) constructed kinetic energy operator
• Internal (I) coordinates
• User specified Hamiltonian (USH)

MARVEL: Measured Active Vibrational Rotational Energy Levels

MARVEL computes ro-vibrational energy levels and their uncertainties from uniquely assigned measured transitions. The key steps of the MARVEL procedure are:
• Collection and critical evaluation of the measured, assigned transitions and their uncertainties
• Determination of tcomponents of the spectroscopic network (SN)
• Inversion of the transitions through a weighted least-squares-type procedure
