1305.2967 (Lucas O. Wagner et al.)

Guaranteed convergence of the Kohn-Sham equations    [PDF]

Lucas O. Wagner, E. M. Stoudenmire, Kieron Burke, Steven R. White
A sufficiently damped iteration of the Kohn-Sham equations with the exact functional is proven to always converge to the true ground-state density, regardless of the initial density or the strength of electron correlation, for finite Coulomb systems. We numerically implement the exact functional for one-dimensional continuum systems and demonstrate convergence of the damped KS algorithm. More strongly correlated systems converge more slowly.
