Ab initio frozen-phonon calculations were performed for YBa2Cu3O7 for the five Ag Raman-active and for two B1u infrared-active optical q=0 modes, with use of the local-density approximation and the full-potential linear-muffin-tin-orbital method. The full Ag dynamical matrix was calculated using 98 k points in the 1/8 Brillouin zone. The theoretical and experimental equilibrium structures and phonon frequencies omega v agree well. Phonon linewidths gamma vq, due to electronic intraband transitions in the normal state, and electron-phonon coupling constants lambda vq identical to gamma vq/( pi N(0) omega v2) were calculated for the Ag modes and small, transverse q. The authors estimate that lambda approximately=1 for the sum over all modes. The phonon shifts and broadenings observed for T
