摘要:

本文研究了离散化Kohn-Sham (KS) 密度泛函理论 (DFT) 中的若干理论问题。在某些假设下,建立了KS总能量最小化问题的局部或全局极小解与KS方程解的等价性。证明了强局部极小解的非零电荷密度被一个正常数均匀下界所限制。通过将KS方程作为关于势的固定点映射来分析自洽场 (SCF) 迭代。推导了这些固定点映射的Jacobian矩阵。如果占据态与未占据态之间的间隙足够大,则简单的混合方案的全局和局部收敛性可以被建立。如果使用费米-狄拉克分布计算电荷密度,则可以放松这一假设;如果没有交换相关泛函,则无需此假设。尽管我们对间隙的假设非常严格且几乎在现实中从未满足,但我们的分析仍有助于更好地理解KS最小化问题、KS方程和SCF迭代。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we study a few theoretical issues in the discretized Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT). The equivalence between either a local or global minimizer of the KS total energy minimization problem and the solution to the KS equation is established under certain assumptions. The nonzero charge densities of a strong local minimizer are shown to be bounded below by a positive constant uniformly. We analyze the self-consistent field (SCF) iteration by formulating the KS equation as a fixed point map with respect to the potential. The Jacobian of these fixed point maps is derived explicitly. Both global and local convergence of the simple mixing scheme can be established if the gap between the occupied states and unoccupied states is sufficiently large. This assumption can be relaxed if the charge density is computed using the Fermi-Dirac distribution and it is not required if there is no exchange correlation functional in the total energy functional. Although our assumption on the gap is very stringent and is almost never satisfied in reality, our analysis is still valuable for a better understanding of the KS minimization problem, the KS equation and the SCF iteration.
