Analysis of Floquet formulation of time-dependent density-functional theory

Materials Science 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

Floquet formulation of time-dependent density-functional theory is revisited in light of its recent criticism [Maitra and Burke, Chem. Phys. Lett. 359 (2002), 237]. It is shown that Floquet theory is well founded and its criticism has overlooked important points of both the Runge-Gross formalism and Floquet formulation itself. We substantiate our analysis by examples similar to that considered by Maitra and Burke.
