## Abstract This paper presents an upper and lower solution theory for singular boundary value problems modelling the ThomasβFermi equation, subject to a boundary condition corresponding to the neutral atom with Bohr radius equal to its existence interval. Furthermore, we derive sufficient conditio
We propose an electron density in atoms and ions, which has the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac form in the intermediate region of r, satisfies the Kato condition for small r, and has the correct asymptotic behavior at large values of r, where r is the distance from the nucleus. We also analyze the perturbation
In the application of the optimized Thomas-Fermi theory to condensed phase systems, it has proved convenient to introduce a sum of atom-centered functions to represent the most rapidly varying part of the electron density near the nuclei. By extraction of this portion of the density, attention can b
