A Galerkin method is developed to solve the time-dependent Dirac equation in prolate spheroidal coordinates for an electron-molecular two-center system. The initial state is evaluated from a variational principle using a kinetic/atomic balanced basis, which allows for an efficient and accurate determination of the Dirac spectrum and eigenfunctions. B-spline basis functions are used to obtain high accuracy. This numerical method is used to compute the energy spectrum of the two-center problem and then the evolution of eigenstate wavefunctions in an external electromagnetic field.

An implementation of the Hartree-Fock (HF) method capable of robust convergence for well-behaved arbitrary central potentials is presented. The Hartree-Fock equations are converted to a generalized eigenvalue problem by employing a B-spline basis in a finite-size box. Convergence of the self-consistency iterations for the occupied electron orbitals is achieved by increasing the magnitude of the electron-electron Coulomb interaction gradually to its true value. For the Coulomb central potential, convergence patterns and energies are presented for a selection of atoms and negative ions, and are benchmarked against existing calculations. The present approach is also tested by calculating the ground states for an electron gas confined by a harmonic potential and also by that of uniformly charged sphere (the jellium model of alkali-metal clusters). For the harmonically confined electron-gas problem, comparisons are made with the Thomas-Fermi method and its accurate asymptotic analytical solution, with close agreement found for the electron energy and density for large electron numbers. We test the accuracy and effective completeness of the excited state manifolds by calculating the static dipole polarizabilities at the HF level and using the Random-Phase Approximation. Using the latter is crucial for the electron-gas and cluster models, where the effect of electron screening is very important. Comparisons are made for with experimental data for sodium clusters of up to $sim $100 atoms.

In this article, we propose an exponential B-spline collocation method to approximate the solution of the fractional sub-diffusion equation of Caputo type. The present method is generated by use of the Gorenflo-Mainardi-Moretti-Paradisi (GMMP) scheme in time and an efficient exponential B-spline based method in space. The unique solvability is rigorously discussed. Its stability is well illustrated via a procedure closely resembling the classic von Neumann approach. The resulting algebraic system is tri-diagonal that can rapidly be solved by the known algebraic solver with low cost and storage. A series of numerical examples are finally carried out and by contrast to the other algorithms available in the literature, numerical results confirm the validity and superiority of our method.
In this work, a fully implicit numerical approach based on space-time finite element method is presented to solve the Dirac equation in 1 (space) + 1 (time), 2 + 1, and 3 + 1 dimensions. We utilize PETSc/Tao library to implement our linear system and for using Krylov subspace based solvers such as GMRES. We demonstrate our method by analyzing several different cases including plane wave solution, Zitterbewegung, and Klein paradox. Parallel performance of this implementation is also presented.
This work discusses the application of an affine reconstructed nodal DG method for unstructured grids of triangles. Solving the diffusion terms in the DG method is non-trivial due to the solution representations being piecewise continuous. Hence, the diffusive flux is not defined on the interface of elements. The proposed numerical approach reconstructs a smooth solution in a parallelogram that is enclosed by the quadrilateral formed by two adjacent triangle elements. The interface between these two triangles is the diagonal of the enclosed parallelogram. Similar to triangles, the mapping of parallelograms from a physical domain to a reference domain is an affine mapping, which is necessary for an accurate and efficient implementation of the numerical algorithm. Thus, all computations can still be performed on the reference domain, which promotes efficiency in computation and storage. This reconstruction does not make assumptions on choice of polynomial basis. Reconstructed DG algorithms have previously been developed for modal implementations of the convection-diffusion equations. However, to the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first practical guideline that has been proposed for applying the reconstructed algorithm on a nodal discontinuous Galerkin method with a focus on accuracy and efficiency. The algorithm is demonstrated on a number of benchmark cases as well as a challenging substantive problem in HED hydrodynamics with highly disparate diffusion parameters.
Mesh-free methods have significant potential for simulations in complex geometries, as the time consuming process of mesh-generation is avoided. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is the most widely used mesh-free method, but suffers from a lack o f consistency. High order, consistent, and local (using compact computational stencils) mesh-free methods are particularly desirable. Here we present a novel framework for generating local high order difference operators for arbitrary node distributions, referred to as the Local Anisotropic Basis Function Method (LABFM). Weights are constructed from linear sums of anisotropic basis functions (ABFs), chosen to ensure exact reproduction of polynomial fields up to a given order. The ABFs are based on a fundamental Radial Basis Function (RBF), and the choice of fundamental RBF has small effect on accuracy, but influences stability. LABFM is able to generate high order difference operators with compact computational stencils (4th order with 25 nodes, 8th order with 60 nodes in two dimensions). At domain boundaries (with incomplete support) LABFM automatically provides one-sided differences of the same order as the internal scheme, up to 4th order. We use the method to solve elliptic, parabolic and mixed hyperbolic-parabolic PDEs, showing up to 8th order convergence. The inclusion of hyperviscosity is straightforward, and can effectively provide stability when solving hyperbolic problems. LABFM is a promising new mesh-free method for the numerical solution of PDEs in complex geometries. The method is highly scalable, and for Eulerian schemes, the computational efficiency is competitive with RBF-FD for a given accuracy. A particularly attractive feature is that in the low order limit, LABFM collapses to SPH, and there is potential for Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian schemes with natural adaptivity of resolution and accuracy.
