Detailed Description

template<typename Variable>
class Pulay< Variable >

Pulay mixing to optimize self-consistent field optimization

Member Function Documentation

template<typename Variable>
virtual double Pulay< Variable >::cycle ( double  dEprev,
std::vector< double > &  extraValues 
)
protectedpure virtual

Single cycle of the self-consistency loop. In each subsequent cycle, Pulay will try to zero the difference between getVariable() before and after the cycle. The implementation should only do the work of computing the updated variable; debug printing and I/O, if any, should occur in report() instead.

Parameters
dEprevenergy change at previous cycle, which may be used to adjust accuracy of any inner optimizations
extraValuesSpecify the values of any extra convergence parameters specified in minimize()
Returns
Energy at end of cycle

Implemented in NonlinearPCM, and SCF.

template<typename Variable>
virtual Variable Pulay< Variable >::getVariable ( ) const
protectedpure virtual

Write variable to stream.

Get the current variable from state of system

Implemented in NonlinearPCM, and SCF.

template<typename Variable>
double Pulay< Variable >::minimize ( double  Eprev = +DBL_MAX,
std::vector< string extraNames = std::vector< string >(),
std::vector< double >  extraThresh = std::vector< double >() 
)

Minimize energy using a self-consistent iteration.

Parameters
EprevInitial energy (optional)
extraNamesNames of extra convergence parameters to report and check every cycle
extraThreshThresholds for each extra convergence parameter
Returns
Energy at final cycle
