Abstract

We propose a numerical algorithm for finding periodic solutions of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations. We show that this algorithm preserves the particle number and the total energy exactly. We demonstrate the method by calculating the periodic breathing mode of [Formula Presented] We discuss the generalization to more realistic cases, including multidimensional periodic modes. © 1997 The American Physical Society.
