Title: Solving Kohn-Sham nonlinear eigenproblems
Abstract: There has been considerable progress in recent
years in understanding algorithms with inner-outer loop
structure for solving extremely large linear eigenvalue
problems. To solve nonlinear eigenvalue problems such as
those arising from Kohn-Sham electronic structure
calculations, a SCF (self-consistent field) eigensolver has
a structure of three or more loops. Convergence analysis of
such an SCF-eigensolver remains a largely open problem. In
this talk, we focus on the convergence analysis of the
innermost loop of the SCF-eigensolver. The innermost loop
involves solving linear systems of equations and typically
consumes most of the total runtime. We propose a scheme to
detect the stagnation of the innermost iteration and apply
it to improve the computational efficiency of the
SCF-eigensolver.
