Abstract: For the problem of calculating the response density matrix in density-functional perturbation theory(DFPT),a new parallel solution method for the Sternheimer equation is proposed,i.e.,the Sternheimer equation is solved by the conjugate gra-dient algorithm and the matrix direct decomposition algorithm,and the two algorithms are implemented in the first-principles molecular simulation software FHI-aims.Experimental results show that the computational results using conjugate gradient algorithm and matrix direct decomposition algorithm are more accurate,with less error than those of traditional methods,and scalable,which verifies the correctness and validity of the solution of linear equations in the new Sternheimer equation.
