We establish existence and uniqueness of the solution to the Dyson equation for the density-density response function in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in the random phase approximation (RPA). We show that the poles of the…

The formalism of density functional theory (DFT) can be easily extended to the time dependent case (TDDFT). However, while in the static case the theory is well established and is expected to be, at least in principle, an exact approach for…
