Oxford Mathematical Monographs: Mathematical Theory of Thermodynamic Limits : Thomas--Fermi Type Models by Isabelle Catto, Pierre-Louis Lions and Claude Le Bris (1998, Hardcover)
The thermodynamic limit is a mathematical technique for modeling crystals or other macroscopic objects by considering them as infinite periodic arrays of molecules. The technique allows models in solid state physics to be derived directly from models in quantum chemistry.

Reviews"Indeed, while motivated by questions from physics or chemistry, in this book the focus is definitely on the mathematical aspects and methods of solving the problems studied. With this work, a significant step in the rigorous treatment of the thermodynamic limit is accomplished. A fine piece of mathematical physics presented by the original authors in a pedagogical way, in this sense the book is certainly an outstanding contribution to the literature." - Mathematical Reviews, "Indeed, while motivated by questions from physics or chemistry, in this book the focus is definitely on the mathematical aspects and methods of solving the problems studied.

SynopsisThe thermodynamic limit is a mathematical technique which allows us to consider crystals (or other macroscopic objects) as infinitely sized periodically arranged molecules. This means that we can derive models in solid state physics from models in quantum chemistry. Based on this technique, the book presents established as well as new mathematical results for a large class of models in quantum chemistry., The thermodynamic limit is a mathematical technique for modeling crystals or other macroscopic objects by considering them as infinite periodic arrays of molecules. The technique allows models in solid state physics to be derived directly from models in quantum chemistry. This book presents new results, many previously unpublished, for a large class of models and provides a survey of the mathematics of thermodynamic limit problems. The authors both work closely with Fields Medal-winner Pierre-Louis Lion, and the book will be a valuable tool for applied mathematicians and mathematical physicists studying nonlinear partial differential equations., The thermodynamic limit is a mathematical technique which permits to consider crystals (or other macroscopic objects) as infinitely sized periodically arranged molecules.
