Inconsistent comment in generate_spline_matrix in the DMFT folder
by Kuangshing Chen 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi, The function generate_spline_matrix in fouriertransform.C in the dmft folder shows the comments as follows: // A is the matrix whose inverse defines spline_matrix // // 6 6 // 1 4 1 // 1 4 1 // A = ... // // 1 4 1 // -2 0 0 2 However, the following codes, dense_matrix A = 4*dt/6.*boost::numeric::ublas::identity_matrix<double>(Np1); for (int i=1; i<Np1-1; i++) { A(i,i-1) = dt/6.; A(i,i+1) = dt/6.; } A(0,0) = 1.; A(0, Np1-1) = 1.; A(Np1-1, 0) = -2.*dt/6.; A(Np1-1, 1) = -1.*dt/6.; A(Np1-1, Np1-2) = 1*dt/6.; A(Np1-1, Np1-1) = 2*dt/6.; the red lines will make the matrix looks like // 6 6 // 1 4 1 // 1 4 1 // A = ... // // 1 4 1 // -2 *-1* *1* 2 Is the comment correct or the code correct? Any reference for this algorithm? Thank you, Kuang-Shing Chen

spimc questions
by daniel.aravena＠antares.qi.ub.edu 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Dear all, I am performing some tests using spinmc (alps 2.0, Heisenberg model) on uncoupled spins changing the number and magnitude of spins at different fields. There are some things in the results that I dont understand: The energy is always zero, independently of the magnitude of the field for the uncoupled case, if I put a coupling constant, then I get as expected a non-zero value for the energy, but it is still non-dependent on field as it should be because of the Zeeman term. In a previous post, it is said that the susceptibility is calculated from magnetization^2, so it should work while M is linear on H, is there a way to get the dependence of susceptibility against field as the system approaches to saturation? And regarding the direction of field, setting H=1 means: Hz=1 Hx, Hy and Hz=1 Hx^2+Hy^2+Hz^2=1^2 , Hx=Hy=Hz or something else? I also tried to set H="0 0 1" and the program runs, but i dont know what I am actually getting. Any comments are welcome Kind Regards Daniel

how to read results during run
by Tadeusz Wasiutyński 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Dear all, when performing simulations with xml option I can read in the browser the results during the run and eventually stop the run. I do not see this possibility with option hdf5. Is there any chance to do it? As the simulations are performed on remote cluster I would like to look at the results on my pc. How can I do it without installing the whole alps package but only with alpspython? Regards Tadeusz

Hi, I just changed to python and am using alps version 2.0. So, i first started the first basic tutorial using python and everything was going smoothly until i reached " result_files = pyalps.getResultFiles(prefix='parm1') ". The error message i received was: File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Program Files\VisTrails\vistrails\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyalps\tools.py", line 400, in getResultFiles res = recursiveGlob(dirname, pattern) File "C:\Program Files\VisTrails\vistrails\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyalps\tools.py", line 372, in recursiveGlob ret += recursiveGlob(os.path.join(dirname, d), pattern) File "C:\Program Files\VisTrails\vistrails\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyalps\tools.py", line 370, in recursiveGlob for d in os.listdir(dirname): windowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: '.\\Application Data/*.*' Then, i skipped over to tutorials MC-08 and got the same message when using result_files = .... May i know what is wrong here ? I use my windows command prompt with the python interpreter from vistrails. Regards, Mike

calculate density distribution in finite temperature using "fulldiag"
by Chen Ahai 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Dear all ALPS users I want to calculate the density distribution of hubbard model with external potential in finite temperature using the "fulldiag" command, the main parameters are ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ......... t=1.0 CONSERVED_QUANTUMNUMBERS="Sz,Nup,Ndown,N" MEASURE_LOCAL[n_density]=n MEASURE_LOCAL[n_up]=n_up MEASURE_LOCAL[n_down]=n_down {T=1.0} {T=10.0} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It can get different thermodynamic quantities (e.g. free energy, specific heat) in different T, but the quantities I defined above keep the same in the two tasks. I can't find the problem in this test. Any help would be appreciated.... Thanks.
