The cost of numerical integration in density-functional theory scales as the cube of the size of the molecule: it is proportional to the number of grid points and to the square of the number of basis functions. We describe a scheme that makes this cost independent of the number of basis functions, thus yielding an algorithm that scales linearly with the size of the molecule. The error introduced by...
