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. ________________________________ Physical Chemistry Seminar Professor Kieron Burke (University of California Irvine) Title: "Density Functional Theory and its Semiclassical Origins" Wednesday, November 16th, 2022, 12:30 pm Location: BRWN 4102 or Zoom https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/93195456102<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/93195456102&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw3VlH4hhrwAKmGs0hNaIpDc>, Meeting ID: 931 9545 6102 See Abstract attached.
