Partitions and the Fermi-Dirac Distribution

For systems of electrons that can exchange energy and particles with a large medium, the celebrated Fermi Dirac (FD) distribution provides the probability for an electron to occupy a given energy level after the total energy of the system has been increased. This powerful tool derives from the laws of statistical mechanics (see, e.g., Landau and Lifchitz [3]). But this result does not apply to ...

Rational 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 ...

Rational Minimax Approximation via Adaptive Barycentric Representations

Computing rational minimax approximations can be very challenging when there are singularities on or near the interval of approximation — precisely the case where rational functions outperform polynomials by a landslide. We show that far more robust algorithms than previously available can be developed by making use of rational barycentric representations whose support points are chosen in an a...

Pole-Based Approximation of the Fermi-Dirac Function∗∗∗∗

Two approaches for the efficient rational approximation of the Fermi-Dirac function are discussed: one uses the contour integral representation and conformal mapping, and the other is based on a version of the multipole representation of the Fermi-Dirac function that uses only simple poles. Both representations have logarithmic computational complexity. They are of great interest for electronic...

Rational approximation to Thomas–Fermi equations

We show that a simple and straightforward rational approximation to the Thomas– Fermi equation provides the slope at origin with unprecedented accuracy and that relatively small Padé approximants are far more accurate than more elaborate approaches proposed recently by other authors. We consider both the Thomas–Fermi equation for isolated atoms and for atoms in strong magnetic fields.
