The use of the linear combination of atomic orbitals method for excited states involves products of orbitals that are known to be linearly dependent. We identify a basis in the space of orbital products that is local for orbitals of finite support and with a residual error that vanishes exponentially with its dimension. As an application of our previously reported technique we compute the Kohn-Sham density response function chi(0) for a molecule consisting of N atoms in (NN omega)-N-2, operations, with N-omega the number of frequency points. We test our construction of chi(0) by computing molecular spectra directly from the equations of Petersilka-Gossmann-Gross in (NN omega)-N-2 operations rather than from Casida's equations which takes N-3 operations. We consider the good agreement with previously calculated molecular spectra as a validation of our construction of chi(0). Ongoing work indicates that our method is well suited for the computation of the GW self-energy Sigma = iGW and we expect it to be useful in the analysis of exitonic effects in molecules.
