The Kohn-Sham scheme of density functional theory is one of the most widely used methods to solve electronic structure problems for a vast variety of atomistic systems across different scientific fields. While the method is fast relative to…

It is shown here that Kohn-Sham equations cannot be derived from Hohenberg-Kohn theory without an additional postulate. Assuming that a functional derivative with respect to total electron density exists leads in general to a theory…
