For an ideal D-dimensional Fermi gas under generic external confinement we derive the correcting coefficient $(D-2)/3D$ of the von Weizsacker term in the kinetic energy density. To obtain this coefficient we use the Kirzhnits semiclassical…

Density functional theory (DFT) is notorious for the absence of gradient corrections to the two-dimensional (2D) Thomas-Fermi kinetic-energy functional; it is widely accepted that the 2D analog of the 3D von Weizs\"acker correction…
We derive a generalized gradient approximation to the exchange energy to be used in density functional theory calculations of two-dimensional systems. This class of approximations has a long and successful history, but it has not yet been…

The gradient expansion of the kinetic energy functional, when applied for atoms or finite systems, usually grossly overestimates the energy in the fourth order and generally diverges in the sixth order. We avoid the divergence of the…
The one-body density matrix (ODM) for a zero temperature non-interacting Fermi gas can be approximately obtained in the semiclassical regime through different $\hbar$-expansion techniques. One would expect that each method of approximating…

We prove that the inhomogeneous variant of Khintchine's Theorem holds in dimension $2$ without any monotonicity assumption. This resolves the last remaining case in the metric theory of inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation: while the…
It has been shown that gradient descent can yield the zero training loss in the over-parametrized regime (the width of the neural networks is much larger than the number of data points). In this work, combining the ideas of some existing…
Each real number $x\in[0,1]$ admits a unique power-2-decaying Gauss-like expansion (P2GLE for short) as $x=\sum_{i\in\mathbb{N}} 2^{-(d_1(x)+d_2(x)+\cdots+d_i(x))}$, where $d_i(x)\in\mathbb{N}$. For any $x\in(0,1]$, the Khintchine exponent…
The large-$Z$ asymptotic expansion of atomic energies has been useful in determining exact conditions for corrections to the local density approximation in density functional theory. The correction for exchange is fit well with a leading $Z…
