abstract = {We present an implementation of the GW approximation for
the electronic self-energy within the full-potential
linearized augmented-plane-wave (FLAPW) method. The
algorithm uses an all-electron mixed product basis for the
representation of response matrices and related quantities.
This basis is derived from the FLAPW basis and is exact for
wave-function products. The correlation part of the
self-energy is calculated on the imaginary-frequency axis
with a subsequent analytic continuation to the real axis. As
an alternative we can perform the frequency convolution of
the Green function G and the dynamically screened Coulomb
interaction W explicitly by a contour integration. The
singularity of the bare and screened interaction potentials
gives rise to a numerically important self-energy
contribution, which we treat analytically to achieve good
convergence with respect to the k-point sampling. As
numerical realizations of the GW approximation typically
suffer from the high computational expense required for the
evaluation of the nonlocal and frequency-dependent
self-energy, we demonstrate how the algorithm can be made
very efficient by exploiting spatial and time-reversal
symmetry as well as by applying an optimization of the mixed
product basis that retains only the numerically important
contributions of the electron-electron interaction. This
optimization step reduces the basis size without
compromising the accuracy and accelerates the code
considerably. Furthermore, we demonstrate that one can
employ an extrapolar approximation for high-lying states to
reduce the number of empty states that must be taken into
account explicitly in the construction of the polarization
function and the self-energy. We show convergence tests, CPU
timings, and results for prototype semiconductors and
insulators as well as ferromagnetic nickel.},
