Fully guaranteed and computable error bounds on the energy for periodic Kohn-Sham equations with convex density functionals
<|reference_start|>Fully guaranteed and computable error bounds on the energy for periodic Kohn-Sham equations with convex density functionals: In this article, we derive fully guaranteed error bounds for the energy of convex nonlinear mean-field models. These results apply in particular to Kohn-Sham equations with convex density functionals, which includes the reduced Hartree-Fock (rHF) model, as well as the Kohn-Sham model with exact exchange-density functional (which is unfortunately not explicit and therefore not usable in practice). We then decompose the obtained bounds into two parts, one depending on the chosen discretization and one depending on the number of iterations performed in the self-consistent algorithm used to solve the nonlinear eigenvalue problem, paving the way for adaptive refinement strategies. The accuracy of the bounds is demonstrated on a series of test cases, including a Silicon crystal and an Hydrogen Fluoride molecule simulated with the rHF model and discretized with planewaves. We also show that, although not anymore guaranteed, the error bounds remain very accurate for a Silicon crystal simulated with the Kohn-Sham model using nonconvex exchangecorrelation functionals of practical interest.<|reference_end|>
