   ABSTRACT: Density Functionals Theory is a theory developed by
   physicists to reduce the cost of the computation of the ground state
   energy of atomic, molecular and solid state systems. DFT consists in
   formulating in terms of the single particle density the variational
   problems which are usually formulated in terms of wave-functions. The
   mathematical understanding of the theory is very challenging from a
   variational point of view. I will try to give a concise introduction.
