We present background concepts of the nuclear density functional theory (DFT) and applications of the time-dependent DFT with the Skyrme energy functional for nuclear response functions. Practical methods for numerical applications of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory (TDHFB) are proposed; finite amplitude method and canonical-basis TDHFB. These approaches are briefly reviewed and some numerical applications are shown to demonstrate their feasibility.
