A Diagonally Updated Limited-Memory Quasi-Newton Method for the Weighted Density Approximation

We propose a limited-memory quasi-Newton method using the bad Broyden update and apply it to the nonlinear equations that must be solved to determine the effective Fermi momentum in the weighted density approximation for the exchange energy density functional. This algorithm has advantages for nonli...
