Current Problems in Density Functional Theory

  • Conference paper
Density Matrices and Density Functionals

  • 309 Accesses

Abstract

I was pleased to be given an opportunity to talk about density functional theory, especially on this occasion honouring John Coleman. This symposium is a tribute to his influential role in the development of the mathematical theory of density matrices, a subject to which he has made many contributions and which remains a fruitful line of inquiry in mathematics, physics and chemistry. There are obvious philosophical and formal links between the subjects of density matrices and density functionals and it is therefore appropriate that a symposium be held to explore and hopefully elucidate these relationships.
