An easy and computationally inexpensive way of estimating ring strain energies (RSE) is presented. It is based on the AIM-derived kinetic energy density per electron quantity, G(r)/p(r), computed at the ring critical point, which in general exhibits better linear correlation towards RSE than the previously reported method based on G(r) itself.
