We present a real-space computational method called treecode-accelerated Green Iteration (TAGI) for all-electron Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory. TAGI is based on a reformulation of the Kohn-Sham equations in which the eigenvalue problem in differential form is converted into a fixed-point problem in integral form by convolution with the modified Helmholtz Green's function. In each self-consistent field (SCF) iteration, the fixed-points are computed by Green Iteration, where the discrete convolution sums are efficiently evaluated by a GPU-accelerated barycentric Lagrange treecode. Other techniques used in TAGI include a-priori adaptive mesh refinement, Fejér quadrature, singularity subtraction, gradient-free eigenvalue update, and Anderson mixing to accelerate convergence of the SCF and Green Iterations. Ground state energy computations of several atoms (Li, Be, O) and small molecules (H2, CO, C6H6) demonstrate TAGI's ability to efficiently achieve chemical accuracy.

Kohn-Sham密度泛函理论的树码加速绿色迭代

我们为全电子Kohn-Sham密度泛函理论提出了一种称为树码加速绿色迭代(TAGI)的真实空间计算方法。TAGI基于Kohn-Sham方程的重新公式化,其中微分形式的特征值问题通过与改进的Helmholtz Green函数卷积而转换为积分形式的不动点问题。在每个自洽字段(SCF)迭代中,不动点由Green迭代计算,其中离散卷积和由GPU加速的重心拉格朗日树码有效评估。TAGI中使用的其他技术包括先验自适应网格细化,Fejér正交,奇异度减法,无梯度特征值更新以及Anderson混合,可加快SCF和Green迭代的收敛速度。几个原子(Li,Be,O)和小分子(H 2,CO,C 6 H 6)的基态能量计算证明了TAGI能够有效实现化学准确性。
