Abstract

First-principle calculations are still a challenge since they require a great amount of computational time. In this article, we introduce a new algorithm to perform orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) calculations. Our new algorithm focuses computational efforts on important parts of the particle system, which, in the context of adaptively restrained particle simulations (ARPS) allows us to accelerate particle simulations.
