A new reference state for density functional theory, termed the independent atom ansatz, is introduced in this work. This ansatz allows for the exact representation of electron density in terms of non-interacting, atom-localized orbitals.…
The estimation of a density profile from experimental data points is a challenging problem, usually tackled by plotting a histogram. Prior assumptions on the nature of the density, from its smoothness to the specification of its form, allow…

Models of neutron stars are considered in the case of a uniform density distribution. An algebraic equation, valid for any equation of state, is obtained. This equation allows one to find the approximate mass of a star of a given density…
We consider the Thomas--Fermi--Dirac--von~Weizs{\"a}cker model for a system composed of infinitely many nuclei placed on a periodic lattice and electrons with a periodic density. We prove that if the Dirac constant is small enough, the…
Average, global pairing behaviours of electronic devices, like films, wires, and grains are studied with semiclassical methods, as Weyl and Thomas-Fermi approximations, in the ultrasmall, i.e., quantal regime, which exhibits strong quantum…
Our manuscript investigates a self-consistent solution of the statistical atom model proposed by Berthold-Georg Englert and Julian Schwinger (the ES model) and benchmarks it against atomic Kohn-Sham and two orbital-free models of the…

This is a brief review of the Thomas-Fermi ("statistical" or "density functional") theory of atoms and molecules.
We report results of the equation of state of neutron matter in the low--density regime, where the Fermi wave vector ranges from $0.4 fm^{-1} \leq k_F \leq 1.0 fm^{-1}$. Neutron matter in this regime is superfluid because of the strong and…
We demonstrate that the matter density distribution in the surface region is determined well by the use of the relatively low-intensity beams that become available at the upcoming radioactive beam facilities. Following the method used in…
This paper aims to develop numerical approximations of the Keller--Segel equations that mimic at the discrete level the lower bounds and the energy law of the continuous problem. We solve these equations for two unknowns: the organism (or…
We calculate the self-consistent in-medium T matrix for symmetric nuclear matter using realistic interactions with many partial waves. We find for the interactions used (CDBonn and Nijmegen) very similar results for on-shell quantities. The…
