Peschel, Ingo (ed.) et al., Density-matrix renormalization. A new numerical method in physics. Lectures of a seminar and workshop held at the Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexe Systeme, Dresden, Germany, August 24 - September 18, 1998. Berlin: Springer. Lect. Notes Phys. 528, 91-125 (1999).
From the introduction: This chapter is a review of recent work on the Recurrent Variational Approach (RVA) to the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG). The RVA is a sort of reduced version of the original DMRG, in which one retains a single state as the best candidate for the ground state of the system.
