Hierarchical error estimates for the energy functional in obstacle problems
We present a hierarchical a posteriori error analysis for the minimum value of the energy functional in symmetric obstacle problems. The main result is that the energy of the exact solution is, up to oscillation terms, equivalent to an appropriate hierarchical estimator. The proof does not invoke any saturation assumption. Moreover, we prove an a posteriori error estimate indicating that the es...
متن کاملError Analysis in Nuclear Density Functional Theory
Nuclear density functional theory (DFT) is the only microscopic, global approach to the structure of atomic nuclei. It is used in numerous applications, from determining the limits of stability to gaining a deep understanding of the formation of elements in the universe or the mechanisms that power stars and reactors. The predictive power of the theory depends on the amount of physics embedded ...
متن کاملBayesian error estimation in density-functional theory.
We present a practical scheme for performing error estimates for density-functional theory calculations. The approach, which is based on ideas from Bayesian statistics, involves creating an ensemble of exchange-correlation functionals by comparing with an experimental database of binding energies for molecules and solids. Fluctuations within the ensemble can then be used to estimate errors rela...

Plane-wave pseudopotential Density Functional Theory (OFT) periodic slab calculations were performed usingthe giteralized gradient approximation (GHA) to investigate the adsorption of nitric oxide(NO) on the (I II)surface of Cu. Copper rface was stimulated using th P 'odic Slab Method consisting of Five atomic Layers.Four different adsorption saes (Atop. Bridge, RCP Hollow, and FCC Hollow) were...
متن کاملEfficacy of surface error corrections to density functional theory calculations of vacancy formation energy in transition metals.
We calculate properties like equilibrium lattice parameter, bulk modulus and monovacancy formation energy for nickel (Ni), iron (Fe) and chromium (Cr) using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). We compare the relative performance of local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for predicting such physical properties for these metals. We also make a relati...
