 +===== DFT Review Articles and Books ===== 
 +  - [[http://​journals.aps.org/​rmp/​abstract/​10.1103/​RevModPhys.75.121|Self-consistent mean-field models for nuclear structure ]], M. Bender, P.H. Heenen, and P.G. Reinhard, Rev. Mod. Phys. 75, 121 (2003). Review article by three nuclear DFT practitioners focusing on applications of non-relativistic Skyrme EDFs (with some discussion of relativistic functionals) to nuclear structure. 
 +  - [[http://​arxiv.org/​abs/​0906.1463|Toward ab initio density functional theory for nuclei]], J. Drut, R.J. Furnstahl, and L. Platter, Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys. 64, 1 (2010). Pedagogical review focusing on ab-initio approaches to DFT (orbital-dependent functionals,​ density matrix expansion, etc.)  
 +  - [[http://​www.physics.udel.edu/​~bnikolic/​QTTG/​NOTES/​DFT/​BOOK=primer_dft.pdf|A primer in density functional theory]], Fiolhais, Nogueira, and Marques (Editors), Springer Verlag (2003). The first chapter by Perdew and Kurth gives a very nice overview of semi-local (LDA + gradients) functionals in Coulomb systems. The second chapter by Engel gives a nice introduction to the optimized effective potential (OEP) approach where one constructs orbital-dependent functionals using ab-initio many-body theory. ​  
 +  - {{:​ppnp.pdf|Relativistic nuclear energy density functionals:​ Mean-field and beyond}}, T. Niksic, D. Vretenar, and Peter Ring, Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys. 66 (2011). Recent review of relativistic EDF'​s. ​
  
 +===== Textbooks =====
 +  - //The Nuclear Many-Body Problem//, P. Ring and P. Schuck, Springer-Verlag (2000) - A comprehensive review of the techniques used in nuclear structure. Many of the topics of the school are covered in chapters 4-8, 10, 11.
 +  - //Density Functional Theory of Atoms and Molecules//,​ R.G. Parr and W. Yang, Oxford University Press (1989) -  A pedagogical yet complete introduction to density functional theory in electronic structure theory. Chapters 1-3, 7, 8 will be discussed during the school.
 +  - //Quantum Theory of Finite Systems//, J.-P. Blaizot, P. Ripka, The MIT Press (1985) - Not easy, but an absolute reference, especially for mean-field methods (with and without pairing), two-body Hamiltonians,​ etc. Unfortunately not published anymore.
 +  - //​[[http://​people.math.sfu.ca/​~cbm/​aands/​intro.htm#​006|Handbook of mathematical functions]]//,​ M. Abramowitz and I. A. Stegun, National Bureau of Standards Applied Mathematics Series (1972) - A comprehensive handbook of mathematical functions and methods, including orthogonal polynomials,​ numerical quadratures,​ discretization schemes, etc.
