2 Naïve Sherman-Morrison

2.1 `qmckl_sherman_morrison`

This is the simplest of the available Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury kernels. It applies rank-1 updates one by one in the order that is given. It only checks if the denominator in the Sherman-Morrison formula is not too close to zero when an update is evaluated. It will exit with an error code of the denominator is too close to zero.

The formula for any update \(u_j\) (index \(j\) is suppresed for clarity) that is applied is \[ (S + uv^T)^{-1} = S^{-1} - \frac{S^{-1} uv^T S^{-1}}{1 + v^T S^{-1} u} \]

where \(S\) is the Slater-matrix, \(u\) and \(v^T\) are the column and row vectors containing the updates, \(S^{-1}\) is the inverse of the Slater-matrix.

Even though the Slater-matrix \(S\) with all updates applied at once is invertable, during the course of applying updates to the inverse Slater-matrix \(S^{-1}\) one-by-one it can happen that one of the intermediate inverse matrices \(S^{-1}\) becomes singular. Therefore a global threshold value \(\epsilon\) is defined that is used to evaluate each individual update \(u_j\) when it is applied.

This value sets the lower bound for which the denominator \(1+v_j^TS^{-1}u_j\) is considered to be too small and will most probably result in a singular matrix \(S\), or at least in an inverse of \(S\) of very poor numerical quality. Therefore, when \(1+v_j^TS^{-1}u_j \geq \epsilon\), the update is applied as usual and the kernel exits with return code \texttt{QMCKL_SUCCESS}. If \(1+v_j^TS^{-1}u_j \leq \epsilon\) the update is rejected and the kernel exits with return code \texttt{QMCKL_FAILURE}.

If the determinant of the Slater-matrix is passed, it will be updated to the determinant resulting from applying the updates to the original matrix.

2.1.4 Performance

This function performs best when there is only 1 rank-1 update in the update cycle. It is not useful to use Sherman-Morrison with update splitting for these cycles since splitting can never resolve a situation where applying the update causes singular behaviour.

3 Woodbury 2x2

3.1 `qmckl_woodbury_2`

The Woodbury 2x2 kernel. It is used to apply two rank-1 updates at once. The formula used in this algorithm is called the Woodbury Matrix Identity \[ (S + U V)^{-1} = S^{-1} - C B^{-1} D \] where \(S\) is the Slater-matrix \(U\) and \(V\) are the matrices containing the updates and the canonical basis matrix \(S^{-1}\) is the inverse of the Slater-matrix \(C:= S^{-1}U\), a Dim \(\times 2\) matrix \(B := 1 + VC\), the \(2 \times 2\) matrix that is going to be inverted \(D := VS^{-1}\), a \(2 \times Dim\) matrix

If the determinant of the Slater-matrix is passed, it will be updated to the determinant resulting from applying the updates to the original matrix.

4 Woodbury 3x3

4.1 `qmckl_woodbury_3`

The 3x3 version of the Woodbury 2x2 kernel. It is used to apply three rank-1 updates at once. The formula used in this kernel is the same as for Woodbury 2x2, except for the sizes of the following matrices:

\(C:= S^{-1}U\), a Dim \(\times 3\) matrix \(B := 1 + VC\), the \(3 \times 3\) matrix that is going to be inverted \(D := VS^{-1}\), a \(3 \times Dim\) matrix

If the determinant of the Slater-matrix is passed, it will be updated to the determinant resulting from applying the updates to the original matrix.

5 Sherman-Morrison with update splitting

5.1 `qmckl_sherman_morrison_splitting`

This is a variation on the 'Naive' Sherman-Morrison kernel. Whenever the denominator \(1+v_j^T S^{-1} u_j\) in the Sherman-Morrison formula is deemed to be too close to zero, the update \(u_j\) is split in half: \(u_j \rightarrow \frac{1}{2} u_j\). One half is applied immediately –necessarily increasing the value of the denominator because of the split– while the other halve is put in a queue that will be applied when all the remaining updates have been treated.

The kernel is executed recursively until the queue is eiter empty and all updates are applied successfully, or the size of the queue equals the number of initial updates. In the last case the Slater-matrix that would have resulted from applying the updates is singular and therefore the kernel exits with an exit code.

If the determinant of the Slater-matrix is passed, it will be updated to the determinant resulting from applying the updates to the original matrix.

6 Woodbury 3x3 and 2x2 with Sherman-Morrison and update splitting

6.1 `qmckl_sherman_morrison_smw32s`

The Woodbury 3x3 and 2x2 kernel with Sherman-Morrison and update splitting combines the low-level Woodbury 3x3 kernel, the Woobury 2x2 kernel and Sherman-Morrison with update splitting. It works the almost the same as Woodbury 3x3 with Sherman-Morrison and update splitting, except that when there is a remainder of two rank-1 updates, it is first tried with Woodbury 2x2 instead of sending them all to Sherman-Morrison with update splitting. For example, in the case of 5 updates the updates are applied in 1 block of 3 updates end 1 block of 2 updates.

If the determinant of the Slater-matrix is passed, it will be updated to the determinant resulting from applying the updates to the original matrix.

6.1.4 Performance…

This kernel performs best for update cycles with 2 or more rank-1 updates and the fail-rate is low.

7 Helper Functions

Private helper-functions that are used by the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury kernels. These functions can only be used internally by the kernels in this module.

7.1 `qmckl_slagel_splitting`

qmckl_slagel_splitting is the non-recursive, inner part of the 'Sherman-Morrison with update splitting'-kernel. It is used internally to apply a collection of \(N\) rank-1 updates to the inverse Slater-matrix \(S^{-1}\) and splitting an update in two equal pieces if necessary. In case of a split, it applies the first half of the update, while putting the second half in a waiting queue to be applied at the end.

Therefore, when \(1+v_j^TS^{-1}u_j \geq \epsilon\), the update is applied as usual. Otherwise, \(u_j\) will be redefined as \(\frac{1}{2}u_j\). One half is applied immediately, the other half will be applied at the end of the algorithm, using vectors \(u_{j'}=\frac{1}{2}u_j\) and \(v_{j'}^T=v_{j}^T\), which are stored in the array \texttt{later_updates}.

If the determinant of the Slater-matrix is passed, it will be updated to the determinant resulting from applying the updates to the original matrix.

This function cannot be used by itself and is used in Sherman-Morrison with update splitting and Woodbury 3x3 and 2x2 with Sherman-Morrison and update splitting. Please look at the performance reccomendations for those two kernels.
