The adiabatic connection of density functional theory (DFT) for electronic systems is generalized here to negative values of the coupling strength $\alpha$ (with {\em attractive} electrons). In the extreme limit $\alpha\to-\infty$ a simple…

A critical challenge for density functional theory (DFT) in practice is its limited ability to treat static electron correlation, leading to errors in its prediction of charges, multiradicals, and reaction barriers. Recently, we combined…

Two (so-called left and right) variants of N-centered ensemble density-functional theory (DFT) [Senjean and Fromager, Phys. Rev. A 98, 022513 (2018)] are presented. Unlike the original formulation of the theory, these variants allow for the…
Density functional theory (DFT), the most widely adopted method in modern computational chemistry, fails to describe accurately the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems. Here we show that DFT can be formally and practically…

Density Functional Theory relies on universal functionals characteristic of a given system. Those functionals in general are different for the electron gas and for jellium (electron gas with uniform background). However, jellium is…
We present here novel insight into exchange-correlation functionals in density functional theory, based on the viewpoint of optimal transport. We show that in the case of two electrons and in the semiclassical limit, the exact…

Electrons in zero external magnetic field can be studied with density functional theory (DFT) or with spin-DFT (SDFT). The latter is normally used for open shell systems because its approximations appear to model better the exchange and…

We suggest to include the density of electron charge explicitly in the electron potential of density functional theory, rather than implicitly via exchange-correlation functionals. The advantages of the approach are conceptual and…
