Description:
Vidvuds OzolinsProfessor, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, &Director, DOE EFRC Molecularly Engineered Energy Materials,University of California, Los Angeles Sparse Physics and its Applications to Energy MaterialsNovember 13, 2013 | 4:00pm | ESB 1001Faculty host: Chris Van de WalleAbstractThe conventional approach to building physics models is based on physical intuition gained in prior studies of similar systems. Unfortunately, intuition is often faulty. We show that a recently developed technique from information science, compressive sensing (CS), provides a simple, efficient, and systematically improvable way of constructing models in a numerically robust and conceptually simple way. CS is a new paradigm for model building in physics - its models are sparse and just as robust or better than those built by current state-of-the-art approaches. They can be constructed at a fraction of the computational cost and user effort. We will illustrate the general idea and highlight applications to alloys, protein folding energetics, thermoelectrics and anhamronic lattice dynamics.We will also introduce a general formalism for obtaining localized ("compressed") solutions to a class of problems in mathematical physics, which can be recast as variational optimization problems. This class includes the important cases of the Schrödinger’s equation in quantum mechanics and electromagnetic equations for light propagation in photonic crystals. These ideas can also be applied to develop a spatially localized basis that spans the eigenspace of a differential operator, for instance, the Laplace operator, generalizing the concept of plane waves to an orthogonal real-space basis with multi-resolution capabilities.BiographyVidvuds Ozolins is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at UCLA, and received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1998. Before joining the UCLA Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2002, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and a Principle Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California. Prof. His research interests lie in the area of computational materials design and energy materials. He uses quantum mechanics based computation to study materials for energy storage, thermoelectrics, structural materials, advanced nuclear fuels, electronic and optical materials. He has published more than 100 refereed scientific papers and holds several patents in energy materials. He is currently a Director of Molecularly Engineered Energy Materials (MEEM), an EFRC of the DOE Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences.

Outline

Premise: •  Most physics models are approximately sparse

(i.e., have a few terms) in some basis

Questions: •  How do we pick the basis? •  How do we determine which terms to pick? •  How should we generate fitting data? •  How do we systematically improve accuracy?

i. We choose

Nel = 5, V0 = 1, � = 3 and xj

= 10j in our discussion be-low and, in spite of the di↵erent potential, continue to referto this case as the 1D KP model. This model exhibits twolow-energy bands separated by finite gaps from the rest of the(continuous) eigenvalue spectrum, and the Wannier functionscorresponding to these bands are exponentially localized.

In our experiments, we choose ⌦ = [0, 50] and discretize⌦ with 128 equally spaced nodes. The proposed variationalmodel Eq. [4] is solved using algorithm 1, where parametersare chosen as � = µN/20 and r = µN/5. We report the com-putational results of the first 5 CMs of the 1D free-electronmodel (the first column) and the 1D KP model (the secondcolumn) in Figure 4, where we use 5 di↵erent colors to dif-ferentiate these CMs. To compare all results more clearly, weuse the same initial input for di↵erent values of µ in the free-electron model and the 1D KP model. We flip the CMs ifnecessary such that most values of CMs on their support arepositive, since sign ambiguities do not a↵ect minimal valuesof the objective function in Eq. [4]. For comparison, Figure 3plots the first 5 eigenfunctions of the Schrodinger operatorused in the free-electron model and KP model. It is clearthat all these eigenfunctions are spatially extended withoutany compact support. However, as we can observe from Fig-ure 4, the proposed variational model does provide a series ofcompactly supported functions. Furthermore, all numericalresults in Figure 4 clearly show the dependence of the size of

compact support on µ, as suggested by general considerationsbased on the variational formula Eq. [4]. In other words, themodel with smaller µ will create CMs with smaller compactsupport, and the model with larger µ will create CMs withlarger compact support. In addition, we find that the result-ing compressed modes are not interacting for small µ (the firstrow of Figure 4). By increasing µ to a moderate value, themodes start to interact each other via a small amount of over-lap (the second row of Figure 4). Significant overlap can beobserved using a big value of µ (the third row of Figure 4).

We further test Conjecture 1 numerically, i.e., uni-tary transformation of the derived compactly supported

compressed modes can represented the eigenmodes of theSchrodinger operator. We compare the first M eigenvalues(�1, · · · ,�M

The relative error will also con-verge to zero as N ! 1 for fixed µ = 10 and M = 50, whichis illustrated in the bottom panel of Figure 4.

Moreover, the proposed model and numerical algorithmalso work on domains in high dimensional space. As an ex-ample, Figure. 7 shows computational results of the first 25CMs of the free-electron case on a 2D domain [0, 10]2 withµ = 30. All the above discussions of 1D model are also truefor 2D cases. In addition, our approach can also be naturallyextended to irregular domains, manifolds as well as graphs,which will be investigated in our future work.

In conclusion, the above numerical experiments validatethe conjecture that the proposed CMs provide a series of com-pactly supported orthonormal functions, which approximatelyspan the low-energy eigenspace of the Schrodinger operator(i.e., the space of linear combinations of its first few lowesteigenmodes).

Discussions and ConclusionsIn conclusion, we have presented a method for producing com-pressed modes (i.e., modes that are sparse and spatially local-ized with a compact support) for the Laplace operator plus apotential V , using a variational principle with an L1 penal-ization term that promotes sparsity. The trade-o↵ betweenthe degree of localization and the accuracy of the variationalenergy is controlled by one numerical parameter, µ, withoutthe need for physical intuition-informed spatial cuto↵s. TheSOC algorithm of Ref. [13] has been used to numerically con-struct these modes. Our tests indicate that the CMs can beused as an e�cient, systematically improvable orthonormalbasis to represent the low-energy eigenfunctions, energy spec-trum of the Schrodinger operator. Due to the fact the CMsare compactly supported, the computational e↵ort of total en-ergy calculations increases linearly with the number of modesN , overcoming the O(N3) orthogonalization bottleneck lim-iting the performance of methods that work by finding theeigenfunctions of the Schrdinger operator.

In addition, note that the discretized variational principlein Eq. [13] is related to sparse principal component analysis(SPCA) (Ref. [18, 19]). SPCA, however, does not involvean underlying continuum variational principle and the sparseprincipal components are not localized, since the componentnumber does not correspond to a continuum variable.

These results are only the beginning. We expect that CM-related techniques will be useful in a variety of applicationsin solid state physics, chemistry, materials science, and otherfields. Future studies could explore the following directions:

1. Use CMs to develop spatially localized basis sets that spanthe eigenspace of a di↵erential operator, for instance, theLaplace operator, generalizing the concept of plane wavesto an orthogonal real-space basis with multi-resolution ca-pabilities. More details will be discussed in Ref. [20].

2. Use the CMs to construct an accelerated (i.e., O(N)) sim-ulation method for density-functional theory (DFT) elec-tronic structure calculations.

3. Construct CMs for a variety of potentials and develop CMsas the modes for a Galerkin method for PDEs, such asMaxwell’s equations.

4. Generalize CMs for use in PDEs (such as heat type equa-tions) that come from the gradient descent of a variationalprinciple.

5. Extend CMs to higher dimensions and di↵erent geometries,including the Laplace-Beltrami equation on a manifold anda discrete Laplacian on a network.

Finally, we plan to perform an investigation of the formalproperties of CMs to rigorously analyze their existence andcompleteness, including the conjecture that was hypothesizedand numerically tested here.
