Variational approach to the Thomas-Fermi equation
By the semi-inverse method, a variational principle is obtained for the Thomas– Fermi equation, then the Ritz method is applied to solve an analytical solution, which is a much simpler and more efficient method. 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
متن کاملA Z-dependent variational solution of Thomas-Fermi-Dirac equation
Using Thomas-Fermi-Dirac equation within the exchange-correlation scheme and a Z-dependent trial solution, the ground state binding energy for neutral, positively, and negatively charged atoms are calculated. Comparing to the results obtained in earlier works, the values of the binding energy estimated here for both light and heavy atoms agree nicely with the Hartree-Fock values. We have also c...
متن کاملRational approximation to the Thomas–Fermi equation
We discuss a recently proposed analytic solution to the Thomas– Fermi (TF) equation and show that earlier approaches provide more accurate results. In particular, we show that a simple and straightforward rational approximation to the TF equation yields the slope at origin with unprecedented accuracy, as well as remarkable values of the TF function and its first derivative for other coordinate ...
متن کاملThe improved homotopy analysis method for the Thomas-Fermi equation
The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is sharpened to solve the Thomas–Fermi equation. Some techniques are employed, including the use of asymptotic analysis to introduce proper transformation, and the use of optimal initial guess and optimal auxiliary linear operator to accelerate the convergence of homotopy approximations. The optimal convergence control parameters are determined by the minimum ...
متن کاملAn explicit analytic solution to the Thomas-Fermi equation
In this paper, a newly proposed analytical scheme by the authors namely the improved di erential transform method is employed to provide an explicit series solution to the Thomas Fermi equation. The solution procedure is very straightforward, requiring merely elementary operations together with di erentiation, and ends up in a recursive formula involving the Adomian polynomials to a ord the unk...
