Numerical algorithm for the standard pairing problem based on the Heine–Stieltjes correspondence and the polynomial approach
Description
Abstract We present a detailed study of the computational complexity of a numerical algorithm based on the Heine–Stieltjes correspondence following the new approach we proposed recently for solving the Bethe ansatz (Gaudin–Richardson) equations of the standard pairing problem. For k pairs of valence nucleons in n non-degenerate single-particle energy levels, the approach utilizes that solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations can be obtained from two matrices of dimensions ( k + 1 ) × ( k + 1 ) and ( n ... Title of program: exactPairingHS Catalogue Id: AETD_v1_0 Nature of problem The program calculates exact pairing energies based on the Heine-Stieltjes polynomial approach. Existing conventional exact-pairing approaches require solving systems of highly nonlinear equations, which are difficult and often impossible to solve beyond the simplest of the quantum-mechanical many-particle systems. In this study, the Heine-Stieltjes polynomial approach is employed to provide solutions for more than one or two pairs of particles residing in many energy levels.
