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 <ref name="kubo:57"/>
 
 
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.
