How to incorporate scattering boundary conditions ?

• It is automatic in real time !

• Absorbing boundary condition

How is this justified?

Time evolution can stop when all the outgoing waves are absorbed.

3D lattice space calculationSkyrme-TDDFT

Mostly the functional is local in density →Appropriate for coordinate-space representation

Kinetic energy, current densities, etc. are estimated with the finite difference method

Summary

Small-amplitude TDDFT with the continuum Fully self-consistent Skyrme continuum RPA for deformed nuclei

Theoretical Nuclear Data Tables including nuclei far away from the stability line → Nuclear structure information, and a variety of applications; astrophysics, nuclear power, etc.

Photoabsorption cross section for light nuclei Qualitatively OK, but peak is slightly low, high energy tail is too low For heavy nuclei, the agreement is better.
