چکیده
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 are faced. Parallel implementations are also discussed.

Application of Decoupled Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method to Solve Eigenvalue Helmholtz Problems (Research Note)
A novel element with arbitrary domain shape by using decoupled scaled boundary finite element (DSBFEM) is proposed for eigenvalue analysis of 2D vibrating rods with different boundary conditions. Within the proposed element scheme, the mode shapes of vibrating rods with variable boundary conditions are modelled and results are plotted. All possible conditions for the rods ends are incorporated ...
متن کاملEvolution 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...
متن کاملSolving Large Nonlinear Generalized Eigenvalue Problems from Density Functional Theory Calculations in Parallel
The quantum mechanical ground state of electrons is described by Density Functional Theory, which leads to large minimization problems. An eecient minimization method uses a selfconsistent eld (SCF) solution of large eigenvalue problems. The iterative Davidson algorithm is often used, and we propose a new algorithm of this kind which is well suited for the SCF method, since the accuracy of the ...
