The Fermi surface of palladium disilicide has been calculated using the Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital (LMTO) method. The Fermi surface consists of three small hole pockets, an open hole surface, and two large electron sheets. The calculated angular dependence of the extremal Fermi surface cross-section areas are in reasonable agreement with recent de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) experiments. Some additional dHvA oscillations are predicted.
