Accurate ionic forces and geometry optimization in linear-scaling density-functional theory with local orbitals

Linear scaling methods for density-functional theory (DFT) simulations are formulated in terms of localized orbitals in real space, rather than the delocalized eigenstates of conventional approaches. In local-orbital methods, relative to conventional DFT, desirable properties can be lost to some ext...
