title: Computation of interior eigenvalues in electronic structure calculations facilitated by density matrix purification.
abstract: Density matrix purification, is in this work, used to facilitate the computation of eigenpairs around the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO, respectively) in electronic structure calculations. The ability of purification to give large separation between eigenvalues close to the HOMO-LUMO gap is used to accelerate convergence of the Lanczos method. Illustrations indicate that a new eigenpair is found more often than every second Lanczos iteration when the proposed methods are used.
