Moreau-Yosida-based Kohn-Sham Inversion for Periodic Systems

Vebjørn H. Bakkestuen, Michael F. Herbst, Vegard Falmår +2

Density-potential inversion for periodic systems within Moreau-Yosida-regularised density-functional theory is investigated, both theoretically and numerically. We develop the fram…

Perspective on Moreau-Yosida Regularization in Density-Functional Theory

Markus Penz, Michael F. Herbst, Trygve Helgaker +1

Within density-functional theory, Moreau-Yosida regularization enables both a reformulation of the theory and a mathematically well-defined definition of the Kohn-Sham approach. It…

Efficient Krylov methods for linear response in plane-wave electronic structure calculations

Michael F. Herbst, Bonan Sun

We propose a novel algorithm based on inexact GMRES methods for linear response calculations in density functional theory. Such calculations require iteratively solving a nested li…

Algorithmic differentiation for plane-wave DFT: materials design, error control and learning model parameters

Niklas Frederik Schmitz, Bruno Ploumhans, Michael F. Herbst

We present a differentiation framework for plane-wave density-functional theory (DFT) that combines the strengths of forward-mode algorithmic differentiation (AD) and density-funct…

Kohn-Sham inversion with mathematical guarantees

Michael F. Herbst, Vebjørn H. Bakkestuen, Andre Laestadius

We use an exact Moreau-Yosida regularized formulation to obtain the exchange-correlation potential for periodic systems. We reveal a profound connection between rigorous mathematic…
