Failure of Density-matrix Minimization Methods for Linear-scaling Density-functional Theory Using the Kohn Penalty-functional
We examine the recently-proposed scheme W. Kohn, Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 3168 (1996)] for performing linear-scaling calculations within density-functional theory by direct minimization with respect to the single-particle density-matrix using a penalty-functional to exactly enforce the idempotency constraint. We show that such methods are incompatible with standard minimization algorithms (using co...
متن کاملFrom Density Functional Theory to Density Matrix Functional Theory
Coupled cluster methods are considered among the most accurate tools in electronic structure theory. Nonetheless relatively limited attempt seems to have been made to extend their applicability to the description of the core-excitation phenomena that are behind largely used spectroscopic techniques like x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray circular dichroism. As a first step to redeem for su...
متن کاملEfficient Linear-Scaling Density Functional Theory for Molecular Systems.
Despite recent progress in linear scaling (LS) density function theory (DFT), the computational cost of the existing LS methods remains too high for a widespread adoption at present. In this work, we exploit nonorthogonal localized molecular orbitals to develop a series of LS methods for molecular systems with a low computational overhead. High efficiency of the proposed methods is achieved wit...
متن کاملDaubechies wavelets for linear scaling density functional theory.
We demonstrate that Daubechies wavelets can be used to construct a minimal set of optimized localized adaptively contracted basis functions in which the Kohn-Sham orbitals can be represented with an arbitrarily high, controllable precision. Ground state energies and the forces acting on the ions can be calculated in this basis with the same accuracy as if they were calculated directly in a Daub...
متن کاملONETEP: linear-scaling density-functional theory with plane-waves
This paper provides a general overview of the methodology implemented in onetep (Order-N Electronic Total Energy Package), a parallel density-functional theory code for largescale first-principles quantum-mechanical calculations. The distinctive features of onetep are linear-scaling in both computational effort and resources, obtained by making well-controlled approximations which enable simula...
