Abstract:
In the present paper we discuss efficient rank-structured tensor approximation methods for 3D integral transforms representing the Green iterations for the Kohn-Sham equation. We analyse the local convergence of the Newton iteration to solve the Green's function integral formulation of the Kohn-Sham model in electronic structure calculations. We prove the low-separation rank approximations for the arising discrete convolving kernels given by the Coulomb and Yukawa potentials 1/|x| , and formula16, respectively, with formula18. Complexity analysis of the nonlinear iteration with truncation to the fixed Kronecker tensor-product format is presented. Our method has linear scaling in the univariate problem size. Numerical illustrations demostrate uniform exponential convergence of tensor approximations in the orthogonal Tucker and canonical formats.
