MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

QTT Representation of the Hartree and Exchange Operators in Electronic Structure Calculations

Venera Khoromskaia, Boris N. Khoromskij and Reinhold Schneider

Abstract

In this paper, the tensor-structured numerical evaluation of the Coulomb and exchange operators in the Hartree-Fock equation is supplemented by the usage of recent quantics-TT (QTT) formats.

It leads to $O(\log n)$ complexity at computationally extensive stages in the rank-structured calculation of the respective 3D and 6D integral operators including the Newton convolving kernel, and discretized on the $n\times n\times n$ Cartesian grid. The numerical examples for some volumetric organic molecules show that the QTT ranks of the Coulomb and exchange operators are nearly independent on the one-dimension grid size $n$. Thus, paradoxically, the complexity of the grid-based evaluation of the 3D integral operators becomes almost independent on the grid size, being regulated only by the structure of a molecular system. Hence, the grid-based approximation of the Hartree-Fock equation allows to gain a guaranteed accuracy. In numerical illustrations we present the QTT approximation of the Hartree and exchange operators for some moderate size molecules.
