Anderson Acceleration of Fixed-point Iteration with Applications to Electronic Structure Computations

"In electronic structure computations, it is necessary to set up and solve a certain nonlinear eigenvalue problem to identify materials. In this dissertation, we first introduce the nonlinear eigenvalue problem and the currently prevailing Self-Consistent Field (SCF) method accelerated by the A...
