contents We present a reusable, open-source software implementation of the second-order trust region algorithm in the new OpenTrustRegion library. We apply the implementation to the general-purpose optimization of molecular orbitals in various contexts within electronic-structure theory. Our permissibly licensed implementation can be included in any software package, be it free and open-source, academically licensed closed-source, or commercial. Detailing the implementation in OpenTrustRegion, we present a review of the theory behind trust region-based methods alongside various extensions. We demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of our optimization library with extensive benchmarks for self-consistent field calculations, orbital localization, as well as orbital symmetrization tasks, featuring challenging and pathological systems.
