Description: {{TAG|ALGO}}= timeev calculates the frequency dependent dielectric matrix after the electronic ground state has been determined using the time evolution algorithm (only available in vasp.6)
----
 
The timepropagation algorithm applies an short electric field puls in time, and
then follows the evolution of the dipole moments. The Green-Kubo relation
then allows to calculate the frequency dependent dielectric response function
from the time evolution of the dipole moments
 
 
VASP posses multiple other routines to calculate the frequency dependent dielectric function.
The simplest approach uses the independent particle approximation ({{TAG|LOPTICS}}=.TRUE.
Furthermore, one can use {{TAG|ALGO}} = TDHF ([[BSE calculations]] equivalent to solving the Casida equation), {{TAG|ALGO}} = GW ([[GW calculations]]).
For standard DFT, the timeevolution algorithm is
usually fastest, whereas for hybrid functionals {{TAG|ALGO}} = TDHF  is
usually faster.
