Abstract
We present the TRIQS/Nevanlinna analytic continuation package, an efficient implementation of the methods proposed by J. Fei et al. (2021) [53] and (2021) [55]. TRIQS/Nevanlinna strives to provide a high quality open source (distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3) alternative to the more widely adopted Maximum Entropy based analytic continuation programs. With the additional Hardy functions optimization procedure, it allows for an accurate resolution of wide band and sharp features in the spectral function. Those problems can be formulated in terms of imaginary time or Matsubara frequency response functions. The application is based on the TRIQS C++/Python framework, which allows for easy interoperability with other TRIQS-based applications, electronic band structure codes and visualization tools. Similar to other TRIQS packages, it comes with a convenient Python interface.
Program summary
Program Title:TRIQS/Nevanlinna
CPC Library link to program files:https://doi.org/10.17632/4cbzfy5rds.1
Nature of problem: Finite-temperature field theories are widely used to study quantum many-body effects and electronic structure of correlated materials. Obtaining physically relevant spectral functions from results in the imaginary time/Matsubara frequency domains requires solution of an ill-posed analytic continuation problem as a post-processing step.
Solution method: We present an efficient C++/Python open-source implementation of the Nevanlinna/Caratheodory analytic continuation.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
