This study revisits the Wu-Yang method for optimized effective potential (OEP) calculations, introducing a regularized functional to address ill-posed issues and ensure stable potentials even with unbalanced basis sets.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Computational Physics
  • Density Functional Theory

Background:

  • The Wu-Yang method is used to derive optimized effective potentials (OEP) and implicit density functionals from electron densities.
  • Previous work highlighted the ill-posed nature of OEP determination, particularly with direct minimization methods.
  • Challenges exist in the general validity and practical application of methods determining Kohn-Sham potentials within finite basis expansions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revisit and improve the Wu-Yang method for OEP determination.
  • To address the ill-posed nature of the method and enhance its practical applicability.
  • To introduce a new, regularized functional for more stable potential calculations.

Main Methods:

  • Revisiting the Wu-Yang method for optimized effective potential (OEP) and implicit density functional determination.

  • Analyzing the behavior of potentials derived from finite basis expansions.

    • Main Results:

    • The ill-posed nature of the Wu-Yang method can lead to unphysical, oscillatory potentials, especially with unbalanced basis sets.
    • The newly introduced regularized functional effectively controls these oscillations.
    • The improved method ensures well-behaved potentials across arbitrary basis sets.

    Conclusions:

    • The revised Wu-Yang method with a regularized functional overcomes the ill-posed nature of OEP determination.
    • This advancement ensures the generation of stable and physically meaningful potentials.
    • The new approach enhances the reliability and applicability of density functional theory calculations.
