RecursionSelfEnergy — Class for representing a self energy calculation using the recursion method.
Constructor for a self-energy calculator based on the Recursion method. The Recursion is an iterative scheme for getting self energies, with convergence O(2^N)
If True, the self energies are stored between iterations for maximum speed.
Type: Boolean (True/False)
Default:
True
The tolerance of convergence of the self energies before termination of the recursion.
Type: Strictly positive float.
Default:
1e-13
The maximum number of recursion steps allowed before termination.
Type: Positive integer.
Default:
400
A RecursionSelfEnergy object provides the following methods:
maximumIteration(): Query method for getting the maximum iteration
saveSelfEnergies(): Query method for getting the Boolean telling if the self energies should be saved or not
setSaveSelfEnergies(): Set method for setting the Boolean telling if the self energies should be saved or not
tolerance(): Query method for getting the tolerance
Define that the self energy on the complex contour is calculated with the recursion method, and the self energies are not saved.

The RecusionSelfEnergy uses the iterative scheme by Lopez, Lopez and Rubio[12] for calculating the self energy matrix.
