abstract = {Density Functional Theory (DFT) is one of the most used ab
initio theoretical frameworks in materials science. It
derives the ground state properties of a multi-atomic
ensemble directly from the computation of its one-particle
density n(r). In DFT-based simulations the solution is
calculated through a chain of successive self-consistent
cycles: in each cycle a series of coupled equations
(Kohn-Sham) translates to a large number of generalized
eigenvalue problems whose eigenpairs are the principal means
for expressing n(r). A simulation ends when n(r) has
converged to the solution within the required numerical
accuracy. This usually happens after several cycles,
resulting in a process calling for the solution of many
sequences of eigenproblems. In this paper, the authors
report evidence showing unexpected correlations between
adjacent eigenproblems within each sequence. By
investigating the numerical properties of the sequences of
generalized eigenproblems it is shown that the eigenvectors
undergo an "evolution" process. At the same time it is shown
that the Hamiltonian matrices exhibit a similar evolution
and manifest a specific pattern in the information they
carry. Correlation between eigenproblems within a sequence
is of capital importance: information extracted from the
simulation at one step of the sequence could be used to
compute the solution at the next step. Although they are not
explored in this work, the implications could be manifold:
from increasing the performance of material simulations, to
the development of an improved iterative solver, to
modifying the mathematical foundations of the DFT
computational paradigm in use, thus opening the way to the
investigation of new materials. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All
