11. Summary We have solved the Hartree-Fock equations based on the EDF including p-n mixing Isospin of the system is controlled by isocranking model The p-n mixed single-reference EDF is capable of quantitatively describing the isobaric analog states For odd(even) A/2, odd(even)-T states can be obtained by isocranking e-e nuclei in their ground states with time-reversal symmetry. Augmented Lagrange method for constraining the isospin. Remarks: See PRC 88(2013) 061301(R). Benchmark calculation with axially symmetric HFB solver: Sheikh et al., PRC, in press; arXiv:1403.2427
