New development of numerical grid-based methods
The electronic structures and dynamics in atoms and molecules are governed by
the Coulomb potential. For numerical simulations, it requires to treat the
short- and long-range behaviors of the Coulomb potential with dense local
refinement and large spatial dimension. To attack the Coulomb potential in
all-electron calculations of polyatomic molecules, I have developed new
numerical grid-based methods: Voronoi-cell finite difference (VFD) method and
time-dependent VFD method. In contrast to the ordinary finite difference
method with regular uniform grids, the VFD method can accommodate any types of
grid distributions, so called unstructured grids, with the help of
geometrical adaptivity of the Voronoi diagram, while it retains simplicity of the finite difference method. Non-uniform and highly adaptive
multicenter molecular grids are constructed by a combination of spherical
atomic grids centered at nuclear positions. The new methods have been applied
to solve density-functional theory (DFT) [1] and
time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) [2] equations for accurate
electronic structure and dynamics calculations of polyatomic molecules on
multicenter molecular grids.
