sisl.mixing.AdaptivePulayMixer

class sisl.mixing.AdaptivePulayMixer(weight=(0.03, 0.5), history=2, metric=None)

Bases: AdaptiveDIISMixer

Methods

`adjust_weight`(lagrange[, offset, spread])	Adjust the weight according to the Lagrange multiplier.
`coefficients`()	Calculate coefficients and adjust weights according to a Lagrange multiplier
`mix`(coefficients)	Calculate a new variable \(f'\) using history and input coefficients
`set_history`(history)	Replace the current history in the mixer with a new one
`set_weight`(weight)	Set a new weight for this mixer
`solve_lagrange`()	Calculate the coefficients according to Pulay's method, return everything + Lagrange multiplier
`history`	History object tracked by this mixer
`weight`	This mixers mixing weight, the weight is the fractional contribution of the derivative

__call__(f, df, delta=None, append=True): Call self as a function.

__init__(weight=(0.03, 0.5), history=2, metric=None)

adjust_weight(lagrange, offset=13, spread=7)

Adjust the weight according to the Lagrange multiplier.

Once close to convergence the Lagrange multiplier will be close to 0, otherwise it will go towards infinity. We here adjust using the Fermi-function to hit the minimum/maximum weight with a suitable spread

coefficients(): Calculate coefficients and adjust weights according to a Lagrange multiplier

property history: History object tracked by this mixer

mix(coefficients)

Calculate a new variable \(f'\) using history and input coefficients

Parameters: coefficients (numpy.ndarray) – coefficients used for extrapolation

set_history(history)

Replace the current history in the mixer with a new one

Parameters: history (int or History) – if an int a new History object will be created with that number of history elements Otherwise the object will be directly attached to the mixer.

set_weight(weight)

Set a new weight for this mixer

Parameters: weight (float) – the new weight for this mixer, it must be bigger than 0

solve_lagrange(): Calculate the coefficients according to Pulay’s method, return everything + Lagrange multiplier

property weight: This mixers mixing weight, the weight is the fractional contribution of the derivative
