National Initiatives

The team is involved in several ANR projects:

• the ANR MANIF focuses on the mathematical and numerical analysis of electronic structure models, such as, in particular, the Kohn-Sham model. It includes two research teams: researchers from the JL Lions Laboratory (Paris 6) and the MATHERIALS team. It is coordinated by E. Cancès.

• E. Cancès is involved in the ANR BECASIM, which is concerned with the numerical simulation of Bose-Einstein condensates. This ANR has been accepted in June 2012, and is coordinated by I. Danaila (Université de Rouen).

• C. Le Bris participates to the ANR EMAQS. The scientist in charge is Karine Beauchard.

• T. Lelièvre is member of the ANR-project "STAB" (PI: I. Gentil, Université de Lyon).

• The team also benefited from a NEEDS interdisciplinary funding from CNRS on numerical methods for the simulation of defects in materials

In addition, the team is participating in

the GdR Quantum dynamics. This interdisciplinary research network is focused on physical and mathematical problems related to the time evolution of quantum systems (transport problems, nonequilibrium systems, etc),

the GdR Shocks,

the GdR Maths et entreprise,

the GdR correl (correlated methods in electronic structure computations),

the GdR CoDFT (electronic structure computations using density functional theory).

The MATHERIALS team project is involved in two Labex, namely the Labex Bezout (started in 2011) and the Labex MMCD (started in 2012).
