Minimizing storage in implementations of the overlap lattice-Dirac operator

Abstract

The overlap lattice-Dirac operator contains the sign function ϵ(H)\epsilon (H). Recent practical implementations replace ϵ(H)\epsilon (H) by a ratio of polynomials, HPn(H2)/Qn(H2)H P_n (H^2)/Q_n (H^2), and require storage of 2n+22n+2 large vectors. Here I show that one can use only 4 large vectors at the cost of executing the core conjugate algorithm twice. The slow-down might be less than by a factor of 2, depending on the architecture of the computer one uses.
