چکیده

We consider the numerical solution on distributed-memory parallel arrays of vector processors of some large-scale eigenvalue problems which arise in chemistry and physics. Applications from a variety of areas are discussed, including molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, optical physics, chemical reactions, and hydrodynamic stability.

Evolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow

Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...

Numerical Solution of MHD Flow over a Nonlinear Porous Stretching Sheet

In this paper, the MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow over a nonlinear porous stretching sheet is investigated by employing the Homotopy Perturbation Transform Method (HPTM) and the Pade´ approximation. The numerical solution of the governing non-linear problem is developed. Comparison of the present solution is made with the existing solution and excellent agreement is noted. Gr...

Solution of Large Eigenvalue Problems in ElectronicStructure Calculations

Predicting the structural and electronic properties of complex systems is one of the outstanding problems in condensed matter physics. Central to most methods used in molecular dynamics is the repeated solution of large eigenvalue problems. This paper reviews the source of these eigenvalue problems, describes some techniques for solving them, and addresses the diiculties and challenges which ar...

Iterative Solution of Generalized Eigenvalue Problems from Optoelectronics with Trilinos

In this paper, we study the iterative solution of generalized Hermitian eigenvalue problems arising from the finite-element discretization of k·p models of optoelectronic nano systems. We are interested in computing the eigenvalues close to the band-gap which determine electronic and optical properties of a given system. Our work is based on the Trilinos project which provides an object-oriente...

The ELPA library: scalable parallel eigenvalue solutions for electronic structure theory and computational science.

Obtaining the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large matrices is a key problem in electronic structure theory and many other areas of computational science. The computational effort formally scales as O(N(3)) with the size of the investigated problem, N (e.g. the electron count in electronic structure theory), and thus often defines the system size limit that practical calculations cannot overco...
