Unified Green's function approach for spectral and thermodynamic properties from algorithmic inversion of dynamical potentials

Nicola Marzari, Tommaso Chiarotti, Andrea Ferretti

Dynamical potentials appear in many advanced electronic-structure methods, including self-energies from many-body perturbation theory, dynamical mean-field theory, electronic-transport formulations, and many embedding approaches. Here, we propose a novel t ...

Testing For The Rank Of A Covariance Operator

Victor Panaretos

How can we discern whether the covariance operator of a stochastic pro-cess is of reduced rank, and if so, what its precise rank is? And how can we do so at a given level of confidence? This question is central to a great deal of methods for functional dat ...
