PLEASE NOTE: These are two separate seminars for Professor Kieron Burke, Departments of Chemistry and Physics, UC Irvine.

Please join us for either or both!
Department of Mathematics Colloquium, Kieron Burke, UC Irvine
Title: Important mathematical questions in density functional theory
Tuesday, Nov 15th 3:30 - 4:30pm
Location: LWSN B151
Abstract: I will discuss density functional theory, the theory behind most modern electronic structure calculations in science today. Improvements in the approximations in current use can have enormous impact in many technological applications. I will discuss functional analysis, algorithmic development, and even optimal transport. But then I will focus on asymptotic analysis of density functionals, which is becoming increasingly important in the development of approximations. I will outline some formidable mathematical challenges, where any progress would be extremely useful.
