Higher-order adaptive finite-element methods for Kohn-Sham density functional theory
We present an efficient computational approach to perform real-space electronic structure calculations using an adaptive higher-order finite-element discretization of KohnSham density-functional theory (DFT). To this end, we develop an a priori mesh adaption technique to construct a close to optimal finite-element discretization of the problem. We further propose an efficient solution strategy ...
متن کاملTowards Translational Invariance of Total En- ergy with Finite Element Methods for Kohn-Sham Equation
Numerical oscillation of the total energy can be observed when the KohnSham equation is solved by real-space methods to simulate the translational move of an electronic system. Effectively remove or reduce the unphysical oscillation is crucial not only for the optimization of the geometry of the electronic structure such as molecules, but also for the study of molecular dynamics. In this paper,...
متن کاملElement orbitals for Kohn-Sham density functional theory
We present a method to discretize the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian matrix in the pseudopotential framework by a small set of basis functions automatically contracted from a uniform basis set such as plane waves. Each basis function is localized around an element, which is a small part of the global domain containing multiple atoms. We demonstrate that the resulting basis set achieves meV accuracy for ...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of the Kohn-Sham Equation by Finite Element Methods with an Adaptive Mesh Redistribution Technique
A finite element method with an adaptive mesh redistribution technique is presented for solving the Kohn-Sham equation. The mesh redistribution strategy is based on the harmonic mapping, and the movement of grid points is partially controlled by the monitor function that depends on the gradient of the electron density. Compared with fixed meshes, both efficiency and accuracy of the solution are...
متن کاملNon-periodic finite-element formulation of Kohn–Sham density functional theory
We present a real-space, non-periodic, finite-element formulation for Kohn–Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). We transform the original variational problem into a local saddle-point problem, and show its well-posedness by proving the existence of minimizers. Further, we prove the convergence of finite-element approximations including numerical quadratures. Based on domain decomposition, w...
