Absolute-energy-minimum principles for linear-scaling electronic-structure calculations
نویسنده
چکیده
Two absolute energy minimum principles are developed for first-principle linear-scaling electronic structure calculations. One is with a normalization constraint and the other without any constraint. The density matrix is represented by a set of nonorthogonal localized orbitals and an auxiliary matrix which at the minimum becomes a generalized inverse of the overlap matrix of the localized orbitals. The number of localized orbitals is allowed to exceed the number of occupied orbitals. Comparison with other variational principles is made and numerical tests presented. @S0163-1829~97!01939-5#

متن کاملPreconditioned iterative minimization for linear-scaling electronic structure calculations
Linear-scaling electronic structure methods are essential for calculations on large systems. Some of these approaches use a systematic basis set, the completeness of which may be tuned with an adjustable parameter similar to the energy cut-off of plane-wave techniques. The search for the electronic ground state in such methods suffers from an ill-conditioning which is related to the kinetic con...

متن کاملPreconditioned Conjugate Gradient Method for the Sparse Generalized Eigenvalue Problem in Electronic Structure Calculations
The use of localized basis sets is essential in linear-scaling electronic structure calculations, and since such basis sets are mostly non-orthogonal, it is necessary to solve the generalized eigenvalue problem Hx = "Sx. In this work, an iterative method for nd-ing the lowest few eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors for the generalized eigenvalue problem based on the conjugate gradient me...
