Adaptive cluster approximation for reduced density-matrix functional theory

Abstract

A method, called the adaptive cluster approximation (ACA), for single-impurity Anderson models is proposed. It is based on reduced density-matrix functional theory, where the one-particle reduced density matrix is used as the basic variable. The adaptive cluster approximation introduces a unitary transformation of the bath states such that the effect of the bath is concentrated to a small cluster around the impurity. For this small effective system one can then either calculate the reduced density-matrix functional numerically exact from Levy's constrained-search formalism or approximate it by an implicit approximation of the reduced density-matrix functional. The method is evaluated for single-impurity Anderson models with finite baths. The method converges rapidly to the exact result with the size of the effective bath.
