Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Symposium on New Strategies for Solving the Kohn ... (No replies)
Back to Event listings...
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a symposium on “New Strategies for Solving the Kohn-Sham Equations to Obtain Electronic Ground and Excited States” at the SciCADE conference (https://scicade2021.hi.is/) hosted by the University of Iceland, Reykjavík, July 25 - 29, 2022. We welcome abstract submissions for contributed talks on latest developments in Kohn Sham density functional calculations of ground and excited states. More information about the symposium below.
Date of the symposium: July 25th
Abstract submission deadline: May 27th
Submit your abstract at https://scicade2021.hi.is/paper-submission/ (select MS 40 - New Strategies for Solving the Kohn-Sham Equations to Obtain Electronic Ground and Excited States)
Description: Thanks to a good balance between accuracy and computational efficiency, Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS DFT) is the most widely used electronic structure method for both molecular and solid state systems. Solving the fundamental equations of KS DFT, the KS eigenvalue equations, still poses challenges in many applications, including systems in the presence of an external potential, electronic degeneracies and in calculations of excited states. This mini-symposium highlights recent advancements in algorithms to overcome these challenges and extend the applicability of KS DFT to larger and more complex systems than is currently possible.
