The universal density functional $F$ of density-functional theory is a complicated and ill-behaved function of the density-in particular, $F$ is not differentiable, making many formal manipulations more complicated. Whilst $F$ has been well…

In many applications, one deals with nonsmooth functions, e.g., in nonsmooth dynamical systems, nonsmooth mechanics, or nonsmooth optimization. In order to establish theoretical results, it is often beneficial to regularize the nonsmooth…
