abstract = {We present recent advances in numerical implementations of
hybrid functionals and the GW approximation within the
full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave (FLAPW)
method. The former is an approximation for the
exchange–correlation contribution to the total energy
functional in density-functional theory, and the latter is
an approximation for the electronic self-energy in the
framework of many-body perturbation theory. All
implementations employ the mixed product basis, which has
evolved into a versatile basis for the products of wave
functions, describing the incoming and outgoing states of an
electron that is scattered by interacting with another
electron. It can thus be used for representing the nonlocal
potential in hybrid functionals as well as the screened
interaction and related quantities in GW calculations. In
particular, the six-dimensional space integrals of the
Hamiltonian exchange matrix elements (and exchange
self-energy) decompose into sums over
vector–matrix–vector products, which can be evaluated
easily. The correlation part of the GW self-energy, which
contains a time or frequency dependence, is calculated on
the imaginary frequency axis with a subsequent analytic
continuation to the real axis or, alternatively, by a direct
frequency convolution of the Green function G and the
dynamically screened Coulomb interaction W along a contour
integration path that avoids the poles of the Green
function. Hybrid-functional and GW calculations are
notoriously computationally expensive. We present a number
of tricks that reduce the computational cost considerably,
including the use of spatial and time-reversal symmetries,
modifications of the mixed product basis with the aim to
optimize it for the correlation self-energy and another
modification that makes the Coulomb matrix sparse, analytic
expansions of the interaction potentials around the point of
divergence at k = 0, and a nested density and density-matrix
convergence scheme for hybrid-functional calculations. We
show CPU timings for prototype semiconductors and
illustrative results for GdN and ZnO.},
