This chapter extends DMRG from real space to an arbitrary basis space in which each basis state, such as a momentum eigenstate or a molecular orbital, serves as an effective lattice site. Unlike in real space, the interaction potentials become nonlocal and off-diagonal in an arbitrary basis representation. To solve this nonlocal problem, one should optimize the order of basis states and introduce the so-called complementary operators to minimize the number of operators whose matrix elements must be computed and stored. We illustrate the momentum-space DMRG using the Hubbard model and discuss its application in other interacting fermion models. Finally, we introduce a DMRG scheme for optimizing the single-particle basis states and their order simultaneously in a more general basis space without momentum conservation.
