Aperiodicity of the Hamiltonian flow in the Thomas-Fermi potential.

Charles L. Fefferman, Luis A. Seco (1993)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In [FS1] we announced a precise asymptotic formula for the ground-state energy of a non-relativistic atom. The purpose of this paper is to establish an elementary inequality that plays a crucial role in our proof of that formula. The inequality concerns the Thomas-Fermi potentialVTF = -y(ar) / r, a > 0, where y(r) is defined as the solution of⎧   y''(x) = x-1/2y3/2(x),⎨   y(0) = 1,⎩   y(∞) = 0.

Atomistic to Continuum limits for computational materials science

Xavier Blanc, Claude Le Bris, Pierre-Louis Lions (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The present article is an overview of some mathematical results, which provide elements of rigorous basis for some multiscale computations in materials science. The emphasis is laid upon atomistic to continuum limits for crystalline materials. Various mathematical approaches are addressed. The setting is stationary. The relation to existing techniques used in the engineering literature is investigated.
