Abstract

This article presents a new method to compute matrices from numerical\nsimulations based on the ideas of sparse sampling and compressed sensing. The\nmethod is useful for problems where the determination of the entries of a\nmatrix constitutes the computational bottleneck. We apply this new method to an\nimportant problem in computational chemistry: the determination of molecular\nvibrations from electronic structure calculations, where our results show that\nthe overall scaling of the procedure can be improved in some cases. Moreover,\nour method provides a general framework for bootstrapping cheap low-accuracy\ncalculations in order to reduce the required number of expensive high-accuracy\ncalculations, resulting in a significant 3x speed-up in actual calculations.\n
