The calculation of optical absorption spectra using linear-scaling density-functional theory

The goal of the work presented in this thesis was to develop and implement a method for calculating optical absorption spectra for large electronic systems within a linear-scaling density-functional theory (LS-DFT) formalism. The key feature of this method was the development of a scheme for optimiz...
