microcanonical variational transition-state theory (µVTST)

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.M03897
A development of @T06470@ in which the @D01823@ is varied so as to minimize the rate calculated for a fixed energy. The rate expressions obtained in a microcanonical treatment can be integrated over the energy, taking into account the statistical distribution over energy states, so as to give the canonical, or thermal, rates.
