Abstract

We present a projection based multiscale optimization method for eigenvalue problems. In multiscale optimization, optimization steps using approximations at a coarse scale alternate with corrections by occasional calculations at a finer scale. We study an example in the context of electronic structure optimization. Theoretical analysis and numerical experiments provide estimates of the expected efficiency and guidelines for parameter selection.
