In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{93}, 130401 (2004)], we proposed the idea of expanding the space of variations in variational calculations of the energy by considering the approximate wave function $\psi$ to be a functional of…

n a recent paper we proposed the expansion of the space of variations in energy calculations by considering the approximate wave function $\psi$ to be a functional of functions $\chi: \psi = \psi[\chi]$ rather than a function. For the…

We show that classical density functional theory can be based on the constrained search method [M. Levy, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 76, 6062 (1979)]. From the Gibbs inequality one first derives a variational principle for the grand potential as…

A stochastic minimization method for a real-space wavefunction, $\Psi({\bf r}_{1},{\bf r}_{2}\ldots{\bf r}_{n})$, constrained to a chosen density, $\rho({\bf r})$, is developed. It enables the explicit calculation of the Levy constrained…

In non-relativistic quantum mechanics of $N$ particles in three spatial dimensions, the wave function $\psi(q_1,\ldots,q_N,t)$ is a function of $3N$ position coordinates and one time coordinate. It is an obvious idea that in a relativistic…

Variational (Rayleigh-Ritz) methods are applied to local quantum field theory. For scalar theories the wave functional is parametrized in the form of a superposition of Gaussians and the expectation value of the Hamiltonian is expressed in…

We reconsider the density functional theory of nonuniform classical fluids from the point of view of convex analysis. From the observation that the logarithm of the grand-partition function $\log \Xi [\phi]$ is a convex functional of the…

It was recently pointed out (and demonstrated experimentally) by Lundeen et al. that the wave function of a particle (more precisely, the wave function possessed by each member of an ensemble of identically-prepared particles) can be…

A self-consistent formulation is proposed to generalize the HF scheme with the incorporation of screening effects. For this purpose in a first step, an energy functional is defined by the mean value for the full Hamiltonian, not in a Slater…

We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…

Wave functions of a new functional kind have been proposed for Helium-like atoms in this work . These functions explicitly depend on interelectronic and hyperspherical coordinates. The best ground state energy for the Helium atom $…

The coordinate-space wave function $\psi(x)$ of quasi-one-dimensional atoms is defined in the $x\geq 0$ region only. This poses a typical problem to write a physically acceptable momentum-space wave function $\phi(p)$ from the Fourier…

We present a variational wavefunction which explains the behaviour of the supersolid state formed by hard-core bosons on the triangular lattice. The wavefunction is a linear superposition of {\em only and all} configurations minimising the…

An overview of several recent developments in density functional theory for classical inhomogeneous liquids is given. We show how Levy's constrained search method can be used to derive the variational principle that underlies density…

The variational procedure to construct compact and accurate wave functions for three-electron atoms and ions is developed. The procedure is based on the use of six-dimensional gaussoids written in the relative four-body coordinates $r_{12},…

The bound state wave functions for a wide class of exactly solvable potentials are found utilizing the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. It is shown that, exploiting the singularity structure of the quantum momentum function, until now…

Consider a quantum system $S$ weakly interacting with a very large but finite system $B$ called the heat bath, and suppose that the composite $S\cup B$ is in a pure state $\Psi$ with participating energies between $E$ and $E+\delta$ with…

A variational wave function constructed with correlated Hyperspherical Harmonic functions is used to describe the Helium trimer. This system is known to have a deep bound state. In addition, different potential models predict the existence…

We present a density functional scheme for calculating the pair density (PD) by means of the correlated wave function. This scheme is free from both of problems related to PD functional theory, i.e., (a) the need to constrain the…

Quantum mechanical scalar particle with polarizability is considered in the presence of the Coulomb field. Separation of variables is performed with the use of Wigner $D$-functions, the radial system of 15 equations is reduced to a single…
