Phonon-assisted optical absorption in BaSnO$_3$ from first principles
The perovskite BaSnO$_3$ provides a promising platform for the realization of an earth abundant $n$-type transparent conductor. Its optical properties are dominated by a dispersive conduction band of Sn $5s$ states, and by a flatter valence band of O $2p$

SEMI-LOCAL CONVERGENCE OF A DERIVATIVE-FREEMETHOD FOR SOLVING EQUATIONS
We present the semi-local convergence analysis of atwo-step derivative-free method for solving Banach space valuedequations. The convergence criteria are based only on the firstderivative and our idea of recurrent functions.

Poincar\'e inequalities and Newtonian Sobolev functions on noncomplete metric spaces
Let $X$ be a noncomplete metric space satisfying the usual (local) assumptions of a doubling property and a Poincar\'e inequality. We study extensions of Newtonian Sobolev functions to the completion $\widehat{X}$ of $X$ and use them to obtain several ...

Influence of van der Waals forces on the adsorption structure of benzene on silicon studied using density functional theory [PDF]
Two different adsorption configurations of benzene on the Si(001)-(2 x 1) surface, the tight-bridge and butterfly structures, were studied using density functional theory.

Two-point method for solving nonlinear equation with nondifferentiable operator (in Ukrainian) [PDF]
In the paper we study a combined differential-difference method for solving nonlinear equations with non-differentiable operator. The semilocal convergence of the method is investigated and the order of convergence is established.

On the calculation of the stress tensor in real-space Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory
We present an accurate and efficient formulation of the stress tensor for real-space Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Specifically, while employing a local formulation of the electrostatics, we derive a linear-scaling expression ...

A semilocal convergence analysis for directional Newton methods [PDF]
The author provides a semilocal convergence analysis for directional Newton methods in \(n\)-variables.The results are weaker convergence conditions, a larger convergence domain, finer error estimates on the distances involved and precise information on the location of the zero of the function. A numerical example is provided.
