EXISTENCE AND CONVERGENCE RESULTS FOR THE GALERKIN APPROXIMATION OF AN ELECTRONIC DENSITY FUNCTIONAL
We formulate and analyze a model for the study of finite clusters of atoms or localized defects in infinite crystals based on orbital-free density functional theory. We show that the resulting constrained optimization problem has a minimizer and we provide a careful analysis of the solvability of th...
