A generalized Hermitian eigenvalue problem in electronic structure calculations
is studied. In particular, we are interested in a small number of eigenpairs which
are in close relation with several material properties. The eigenpairs of interest can
be formally expressed as follows: for a given index k, the k-th smallest eigenpair.
A numerical approach to the problem, which is built upon the spectrum slicing
framework of the bisection and utilizes the matrix inertia and the Lanczos method,
is presented. Numerical results with the matrix size up to one million are reported.
