This dissertation investigates numerical methods for direct minimization and acceleration of electronic structure calculations. The focus is on methods for Kohn-Sham density functional theory and its extension to fractionally occupied electronic orbitals. The methods are derived in the setting of an abstract discretization of the electronic structure problem and then numerically verified. Verification is accomplished with genuine electronic structure codes or for a model problem capturing the nonlinearity originating from electron-electron interactions. The dissertation demonstrates that the quasi-Newton method is a fast and robust accelerator for the self consistent Kohn-Sham equations and that intrinsic inclusion of the geometric constr...
