Higher-order adaptive finite-element methods for Kohn-Sham density functional theory

TL;DR: An a priori mesh-adaption technique is developed to construct a close to optimal finite-element discretization of Kohn-Sham density-functional theory (DFT), and it is suggested that the hexic spectral-element may be an optimal choice for the finite- element discretizations of the Kohn -Sham DFT problem.
