34 tensor decomposition in quantum chemistry related techniques have been used for DFT since 70ies: resolution of the identity / density fitting Laplace-MP2 Cholesky decomposition various applications of SVD techniques

35 tensor decomposition SVD for n-dimensions is not well-defined but: any n-dimensional tensor can be approximated by decomposition find convenient format for decomposition construct trivial decomposition and then apply rank reduction rank reduction : algorithm for finding a low-rank approximation with control of error - used as back box here (one threshold!)

36 tensor decomposition format chosen for application in Coupled Cluster Theory: canonical format X ab ij k l =1 (x a ) l (x b ) l (x i ) l (x j ) l advantages: - most compact form - leads to most general contraction scheme - best reduction of scaling in contractions task: devise CC algorithm in decomposed format

37 notes on decomposition algorithm convert original tensor to canonical format by trivial decomposition find large entry in original tensor to use as new rank optimize rank to improve A-residual iterative procedure to adjust all ranks to minimize à A. if difference is larger ε, pick up more ranks U.

60 CC algorithm - first tests test-lccd (not all terms yet...) only use decomposed integrals and amplitudes rank reduction after every contraction apply same threshold for all quantities yet no DIIS error in correlation energy for H 2 O using 6-31G correlation energy ε = 10-2 ε = error [Hartree] energy [Hartree] iteration

61 how compact is decomposed representation? rank does not change upon transformation no guarantee to find lowest possible rank does algorithms know about sparsity? Test : dissociate O 2 and investigate ranks MP2 energy in O 2 using 6 31G ε=10 4 interaction energy energy error rank E or E [µhartree] rank O O distance [Å]

62 improvement for CCSD(T) expected? Terms like : T abc ijk = ˆP can be cast into the form: ( ) R L (t m ) r (v m ) l r=1 m=1 l=1 Tim ab Vjk cm m + e Tij ae Vek bc (t a ) r (t b ) r (v c ) l (t i ) r (v j ) l (v k ) l current estimate : R N 1.5, L N 2.0 complexity : R L orb (with current estimate N 4.5 )

63 summary - tensor decomposition integral storage and transformation scales as r N coupled cluster iterations scale as r ampl. r int. N actual ranks scale as N 1.5 (ampl.) and N 2.0 (MO int.) decomposition scales with initial rank and quickly becomes main bottleneck! next steps: CCSD, CCSD(T) (N 5?) and CCSDT more efficient decomposition algorithm (trivial!) parallelization molecular properties
