We study the relationship between the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) and the variational matrix product method (MPM). In the latter method one can also define a density matrix whose eigenvalues turn out to be numerically close to those of the DMRG. We illustrate our ideas with the spin-1 Heisenberg chain, where we compute the ground-state energy and the spin correlation length. We also give a rotational invariant formulation of the MPM.
