Communication: Linear-expansion shooting techniques for accelerating self-consistent field convergence.
Based on the corrected Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham total energy density functional [Y. A. Zhang and Y. A. Wang, J. Chem. Phys. 130, 144116 (2009)], we have developed two linear-expansion shooting techniques (LIST)- direct LIST (LISTd) and indirect LIST (LISTi), to accelerate the convergence of self-consistent field (SCF) calculations. Case studies show that overall LISTi is the most robust and efficien...
متن کاملAccelerating self-consistent field convergence with the augmented Roothaan-Hall energy function.
Based on Pulay's direct inversion iterative subspace (DIIS) approach, we present a method to accelerate self-consistent field (SCF) convergence. In this method, the quadratic augmented Roothaan-Hall (ARH) energy function, proposed recently by Høst and co-workers [J. Chem. Phys. 129, 124106 (2008)], is used as the object of minimization for obtaining the linear coefficients of Fock matrices with...
متن کاملElliptic Preconditioner for Accelerating the Self-Consistent Field Iteration in Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory
We discuss techniques for accelerating the self-consistent field iteration for solving the Kohn–Sham equations. These techniques are all based on constructing approximations to the inverse of the Jacobian associated with a fixed point map satisfied by the total potential. They can be viewed as preconditioners for a fixed point iteration. We point out different requirements for constructing prec...
متن کاملSelf-consistent field theories for complex fluids
Recent developments in off-lattice self-consistent field theories for inhomogeneous complex fluids are reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of intermolecular interactions and compressibility, to the role of fluctuations, and to the discussion of the coarse-graining length which is inherent to the theory. Valuable insight can be gained from the comparison of self-consistent fi...
متن کاملOn the Convergence of the Self-Consistent Field Iteration for a Class of Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems
We investigate the convergence of the self-consistent field (SCF) iteration used to solve a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems. We show that for the class of problem considered, the SCF iteration produces a sequence of approximate solutions that contain two convergent subsequences. These subsequences may converge to two different limit points, neither of which is the solution to the nonline...
