AbstractWe present a tensor-structured algorithm for efficient large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations by constructing a Tucker tensor basis that is adapted to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and localized in real-space. The proposed approach uses an additive separable approximation to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and an L1 localization technique to generate the 1-D localized functions that constitute the Tucker tensor basis. Numerical results show that the resulting Tucker tensor basis exhibits exponential convergence in the ground-state energy with increasing Tucker rank. Further, the proposed tensor-structured algorithm demonstrated sub-quadratic scaling with system-size for both systems with and without a gap, and involving many thousands of atoms. This reduced-order scaling has also resulted in the proposed approach outperforming plane-wave DFT implementation for systems beyond 2000 electrons.

The linear and nonlinear response of Si 4 and Na 4 to an external perturbation is investigated in the framework of time-dependent density-functional theory. The time-dependent Kohn–Sham equations, which are the central equations in this approach, are solved in real space and real time. A parallelized implementation to solve these nonlinear, one-particle Schrödinger equations is presented. In contrast to Na 4, Si 4 shows high-harmonic generation far beyond the cut-off predicted by the quasiclassical model and predictions for extended systems.

Reduction Approach

The goal of this work is the development of a highly parallel approach to computing the electron density in nanostructures. In the context of orbital-free density functional theory, a model reduction approach leads to a parallel algorithm that mirrors the subdomain partitioning of the problem. The resulting form of the energy functional that is subject to the minimization process is compact and simple. Computation of gradient and hessian information is immediate. The salient attribute of the proposed methodology is the use of model reduction (reconstruction) within the framework of electronic structure computation.
