Numerical analysis of the adiabatic variable method for the approximation of the nuclear hamiltonian
Many problems in quantum chemistry deal with the computation of fundamental or excited states of molecules and lead to the resolution of eigenvalue problems. One of the major difficulties in these computations lies in the very large dimension of the systems to be solved. Indeed these eigenfunctions depend on variables where stands for the number of particles (electrons and/or nucleari) in the molecule. In order to diminish the size of the systems to be solved, the chemists have proposed many...
Numerical Analysis of the Adiabatic Variable Method for the Approximation of the Nuclear Hamiltonian
Many problems in quantum chemistry deal with the computation of fundamental or excited states of molecules and lead to the resolution of eigenvalue problems. One of the major difficulties in these computations lies in the very large dimension of the systems to be solved. Indeed these eigenfunctions depend on 3n variables where n stands for the number of particles (electrons and/or nucleari) in the molecule. In order to diminish the size of the systems to be solved, the chemists have proposed...
Numerical analysis of the planewave discretization of some orbital-free and Kohn-Sham models
In this article, we provide a priorierror estimates for the spectral and pseudospectral Fourier (also called planewave) discretizations of the periodic Thomas-Fermi-von Weizsäcker (TFW) model and for the spectral discretization of the periodic Kohn-Sham model, within the local density approximation (LDA). These models allow to compute approximations of the electronic ground state energy and density of molecular systems in the condensed phase. The TFW model is strictly convex with respect to the...
