13. Although developed independently - as it was originally designed with the target of avoiding the use of Lagrangian multipliers - the methodology may be related to the previously reported Lagrangian multiplier methods for locating conical intersection such as the one developed by us (Ragazos, I. N.; Robb, M. A.; Bernardi, F.; Olivucci, M. Chem. Phys. Lett, 1992, 197, 217-223) and by Yarkoni (see ref 4).
