A method to obtain the best uniform polynomial approximation for the family of rational function
In this article, by using Chebyshev’s polynomials and Chebyshev’s expansion, we obtain the best uniform polynomial approximation out of P2n to a class of rational functions of the form (ax2+c)-1 on any non symmetric interval [d,e]. Using the obtained approximation, we provide the best uniform polynomial approximation to a class of rational functions of the form (ax2+bx+c)-1 for both cases b2-4a...
متن کاملRange-separated density-functional theory with the random-phase approximation: Detailed formalism and illustrative applications
Using Green’s-function many-body theory, we present the details of a formally exact adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation density-functional theory based on range separation, which was sketched in Toulouse et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 096404 (2009)]. Range-separated density-functional theory approaches combining short-range density-functional approximations with long-range random-phase ...
متن کاملPolynomial filtered Lanczos iterations with applications in Density Functional Theory
The most expensive part of all Electronic Structure Calculations based on Density Functional Theory, lies in the computation of an invariant subspace associated with some of the smallest eigenvalues of a discretized Hamiltonian operator. The dimension of this subspace typically depends on the total number of valence electrons in the system, and can easily reach hundreds or even thousands when l...
متن کاملDensity in Approximation Theory
Approximation theory is concerned with the ability to approximate functions by simpler and more easily calculated functions. The first question we ask in approximation theory concerns the possibility of approximation. Is the given family of functions from which we plan to approximate dense in the set of functions we wish to approximate? In this work we survey some of the main density results an...
متن کاملThomas–Fermi Approximation and Basics of the Density Functional Theory
As stated at the beginning of section 2.7 the total energy is a key function describing the basic physical and chemical properties of materials: the ground state. It consists of both kinetic (describing motion) and potential energy parts. To make a theoretical model realistic it is very important to incorporate all important contributions to both the parts of the total energy. In view of the bi...
