The Positivity of the Pressure in Thomas Fermi Theory
[chapter]
The Stability of Matter: From Atoms to Stars
Preserved Fulltext
We prove the positivity of the pressure and compressibility for neutral systems in the Thomas-Fermi theory of molecules. Our results include some new properties of the Thomas-Fermi potential and a proof that the kinetic energy is superadditive.
