Recently, experimental studies on the dynamical structure of liquid metals have been actively carried out by the inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) technique using the synchrotron radiation which have stimulated theoretical studies. In this paper, recent progress in theoretical studies on the dynamical structure of liquid metals are described in two approaches, i.e. the theoretical approach based on the memory function formalism and the various kinds of computer simulations.
