Fast multiresolution methods for density functional theory in nuclear physics
We describe a fast real-analysis based O(N) algorithm based on multiresolution analysis and low separation rank approximation of functions and operators for solving the Schrödinger and Lippman-Schwinger equations in 3-D with spin-orbit potential to high precision for bound states. Each of the operators and wavefunctions has its own structure of refinement to achieve and guarantee the desired fi...
متن کاملError Analysis in Nuclear Density Functional Theory
Nuclear density functional theory (DFT) is the only microscopic, global approach to the structure of atomic nuclei. It is used in numerous applications, from determining the limits of stability to gaining a deep understanding of the formation of elements in the universe or the mechanisms that power stars and reactors. The predictive power of the theory depends on the amount of physics embedded ...
متن کاملNuclear fission in covariant density functional theory
The current status of the application of covariant density functional theory to microscopic description of nuclear fission with main emphasis on superheavy nuclei (SHN) is reviewed. The softness of SHN in the triaxial plane leads to an emergence of several competing fission pathes in the region of the inner fission barrier in some of these nuclei. The outer fission barriers of SHN are considera...
متن کاملCurrent Densities in Density Functional Theory
It is well known that any given density ρ(x) can be realized by a determinantal wave function for N particles. The question addressed here is whether any given density ρ(x) and current density j(x) can be simultaneously realized by a (finite kinetic energy) determinantal wave function. In case the velocity field v(x) = j(x)/ρ(x) is curlfree, we provide a solution for all N , and we provide an e...
متن کاملGeometry optimization in density functional methods
The geometry optimization in delocalized internal coordinates is discussed within the framework of the density functional theory program deMon. A new algorithm for the selection of primitive coordinates according to their contribution to the nonredundant coordinate space is presented. With this new selection algorithm the excessive increase in computational time and the deterioration of the per...
