Density-to-potential map in time-independent excited-state density-functional theory

Materials Science 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In light of the recent work by Sahni et al., Harbola, and Gaudoin and Burke, the question of mapping from an excited-state density of a many-electron interacting system to the potential of the related non-interacting system is analyzed. To do so, we investigate the Levy-Nagy criterion quantitatively for several excited-states. Our work indicates that Levy-Nagy criterion may fix the density to potential map uniquely.
