We give an overview of the underlying concepts of time-dependent density-functional theory. The basic relations between densities, potentials and initial states, for time-dependent many-body systems are discussed. We obtain some new results concerning the invertability of response functions. Some fundamental difficulties associated with the time-dependent action principle are discussed and we show how these difficulties can be resolved by means of the Keldysh formalism.

We study the effects produced by interactions among neutrinos upon extra-galactic neutrino-fluxes. We have assumed a separable type of pair interactions and performed a transformation to a quasi-particle mean field followed by a Tamm–Damcoff diagonalization. In doing so, we have adopted techniques originated in the quantum many-body problem, and adapted them to this specific case. The solutions of the associated eigenvalue problem provide us with energies and amplitudes which are then used to construct the neutrino response functions at finite density and temperature. The formalism is applied to the description of neutrinos produced in a SN environment.

In this paper we investigate the influence of hydrostatic pressure and self-weight loads (pre-stress state) on the natural periods and mode shapes of steel cylindrical tanks and on the response under horizontal motions. The tank structure is modeled with finite elements and added mass models are used to represent the liquid. Only the impulsive component of the hydrodynamic response is considered. The natural periods and mode shapes for tank-liquid systems including and neglecting the effect of the pre-stress state are computed and compared. Three tank-liquid systems with different cylinder height to diameter ratios and slenderness ratios are considered. The numerical results show that the pre-stress state has a significant influence in the natural periods and mode shapes of tank-liquid systems with thinner walls; however, for thicker shells this effect is reduced. When the pre-stress state is neglected and included, the smaller differences in natural periods occur, for modes characterized by small circumferential wavenumbers. The steady-state response of a tank-liquid system to horizontal harmonic base accelerations was also computed. Large differences were found when the pre-stress state was neglected. A comparison of the frequency response functions shows that the peak responses occur at quite different load periods and they have significantly different amplitudes.
