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…
Skew-symmetric forms possess unique capabilities. The properties of closed exterior and dual forms, namely, invariance, covariance, conjugacy and duality, either explicitly or implicitly appear in all invariant mathematical formalisms. This…

An approach to generalize any kind of collinear functionals in density functional theory to non-collinear functionals is proposed. This approach, for the very first time, satisfies the correct collinear limit for any kind of functionals,…
In this paper, we establish a large deviation principle for the conservative stochastic partial differential equations, whose solutions are related to stochastic differential equations with interaction. The weak convergence method and the…
In this paper we introduce the concept of \emph{multivector functionals.} We study some possible kinds of derivative operators that can act in interesting ways on these objects such as, e.g., the $A$-directional derivative and the…
