  • Description: We present an all-electron method for time-dependent density functional theory which employs hierarchical nonuniform finite-element bases and the time-propagation approach. The method is capable of treating linear and nonlinear response of valence and core electrons to an external field. We also introduce (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}$\text{i}$\end{document}i) a preconditioner for the propagation equation, (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}$\text{ii}$\end{document}ii) a stable way to implement absorbing boundary conditions, and (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}$\text{iii}$\end{document}iii) a new kind of absorbing boundary condition inspired by perfectly matched layers.
