Energy for a nucleus is considered in the macroscopic limit, in terms of nucleon numbers. Further considered for a nuclear system is the Hohenberg–Kohn energy functional, in terms of proton and neutron densities. Finally, Skyrme–Hartree–Fock calculations are carried out for a half-infinite particle-...
