Below we provide plot showing relative energy change (in %) between simulations of SLDA and ASLDA that compute the energy of N fermions (both even and odd particle numbers) in the spin-symmetric unitary Fermi gas trapped in an isotropic harmonic oscillator. For more info see [supplemental material of this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1306.4266).

# BdG - Bogoliubov de-Gennes functional
|
|
|
The BdG functional is equivalent to Bogoliubov de-Gennes mean-field approximation. This approximation is valid in BCS regime, under assumption $`-ak_F<1`$. The functional has form:
|
|
|
```math
|
|
|
\mathcal{E}_{\textrm{edf}}(n,\nu,\ldots) = \frac{\tau_{\uparrow}}{2} +
|
|
|
\frac{\tau_{\downarrow}}{2}
|
|
|
\mathcal{E}_{\textrm{edf}}(n,\nu,\ldots) = \alpha_\uparrow\frac{\tau_{\uparrow}}{2} +
|
|
|
\alpha_\downarrow\frac{\tau_{\downarrow}}{2}
|
|
|
+ g\nu^{\dagger}\nu
|
|
|
```

The (bare) coupling constant $`g`$ is related to scattering length by the formula $`g=4\pi\hbar^2a/m_r`$, where $`m_r`$ is reduced mass.

The (bare) coupling constant $`g`$ is related to scattering length by the formula $`g=4\pi\hbar^2a/m_r`$, where $`m_r`$ is twice of reduced mass, i.e.: $`\frac{1}{m_r}=\frac{1}{2}(\alpha_\uparrow+\alpha_\downarrow)`$.
|

|

|
|
Below we provide predictions of BdG functional for total energy and paring gap as a function of coupling constant $`-ak_F`$ computed for uniform and spin-symmetric system. Results are compared with predictions of BCS theory, and as expected the agreement is observed for $`-ak_F<1`$.
