Comparison of density-functional approaches and Monte Carlo simulations for free planar films of liquid 4He

Density functional proposed in the literature for describing the behaviour of liquid helium at T = 0 K are examined. In so doing, several properties of the ground states of free films of superfluid 4He are calculated by using zero-and finite-range density functional theories and these results are co...
