Abstract

We have developed a numerical method for solving the first-principles Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations which arise in connection with the density-functional theory for superconductors. It is a generalization of the linear muffin-tin orbital method for normal systems. As an illustration, we implement the method for the simple case of a bcc lattice with one atom per unit cell. We argue that such calculations may be useful in studying the high-temperature superconductors.
