The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and the Kohn-Sham equations, which are at the basis of the Density Functional Theory, are reformulated in terms of a particular many-body density, which is translational invariant and therefore is relevant for…

Nuclear mean-field models are briefly reviewed to illustrate its foundation and necessity of state dependence in effective interactions. This state dependence is successfully taken into account by the density dependence, leading to the…

We study densities of functionals over uniformly bounded triangulations of a Delaunay set of vertices, and prove that the minimum is attained for the Delaunay triangulation if this is the case for finite sets.

Because of the rotational invariance of the nuclear Hamiltonian, there exists a density functional for nuclei that depends only on two scalar densities. Practical calculations boil down to radial, one-dimensional ones.

A method to extract primary $\gamma$-ray spectra from particle-$\gamma$ coincidences at excitation energies up to the neutron binding energy is described. From these spectra, the level density and $\gamma$-ray strength function can be…

Density functional theory is discussed in the context of one-particle systems. We show that the ground state density $\rho_0(x)$ and energy $E_0$ are simply related to a family of external potential energy functions with ground state wave…

The connection between the properties of cell tissue and those of the single constituent cells remains to be elucidated. At the purely mechanical level, the degree of rigidity of different cellular components, such as the nucleus and the…

Partition density functional theory is a formally exact procedure for calculating molecular properties from Kohn-Sham calculations on isolated fragments, interacting via a global partition potential that is a functional of the fragment…

We introduce a density functional formalism to study the ground-state properties of strongly-correlated dipolar and ionic ultracold bosonic and fermionic gases, based on the self-consistent combination of the weak and the strong coupling…

Density deconvolution is the task of estimating a probability density function given only noise-corrupted samples. We can fit a Gaussian mixture model to the underlying density by maximum likelihood if the noise is normally distributed, but…
