Chebyshev moment problems: Maximum entropy and kernel polynomial methods

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/195578· OSTI ID:195578
Two Chebyshev recursion methods are presented for calculations with very large sparse Hamiltonians, the kernel polynomial method (KPM) and the maximum entropy method (MEM). They are applicable to physical properties involving large numbers of eigenstates such as densities of states, spectral functions, thermodynamics, total energies for Monte Carlo simulations and forces for tight binding molecular dynamics. this paper emphasizes efficient algorithms.
