Chebyshev recursion methods: Kernel polynomials and maximum entropy
Abstract
The authors describe two Chebyshev recursion methods for calculations with very large sparse Hamiltonians, the kernel polynomial method (KPM) and the maximum entropy method (MEM). They are especially applicable to physical properties involving large numbers of eigenstates, which include densities of states, spectral functions, thermodynamics, total energies, as well as forces for molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. The authors apply Chebyshev methods to the electronic structure of Si, the thermodynamics of Heisenberg antiferromagnets, and a polaron problem.
