Lanczos Method for QRPA Strength Functions in Atomic Nuclei
Dong Min Roh, Chao Yang, Jonathan Engel, Matthew L. Dai
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.01114 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.01114 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.01114
arXiv:2607.01114v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present a symmetric Lanczos method for computing charge-changing QRPA strength functions in atomic nuclei. Starting from the finite-amplitude-method formulation of the QRPA linear-response problem, we derive equivalent spectral representations and, in the real case, a reduced eigenvalue problem involving the matrix products $MK$ and $KM$, where $M\equiv A B$ and $K\equiv A-B$ are formed from the usual QRPA matrices $A$ and $B$. The resulting formulation enables a matrix-free Lanczos approximation of the Lorentzian-smeared strength function over a broad energy interval from a single Krylov run, in contrast to conventional frequency-by-frequency response calculations. Numerical tests for $^{112}$Sn and $^{150}$Nd first show that GMRES reproduces the converged iterative FAM strength profiles while requiring fewer iterations. Using GMRES as the frequency-by-frequency reference, we then show that the Lanczos approximation reproduces the same strength profiles with reduced overall cost. These results indicate that symmetric Lanczos projection provides an efficient and accurate approach for QRPA strength-function calculations when spectral information is required over an extended frequency range.
