Self-consistent GW method: O(N) algorithm for polarizability and self energy

In this work, an efficient implementation of the self-consistent GW method in the FlapwMBPT code [1] is presented. It features the evaluation of polarizability and self-energy which scales linearly with respect to the system size. Altogether the computational time scaling was measured to be be-tween linear and quadratic in the applications to silicon supercells with up to 72 atoms. Application to such materials as paracostibite CoSbS, supercells of La 2 CuO 4 (up to 56 atoms) and SmB 6 , illustrate the potential of the approach in computational material science.
