Over the years, several schemes have been proposed to describe multireference systems with Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory. Problematic is the combination of two aspects: the Kohn-Sham reference wavefunction is usually taken to be a…
Most present applications of time-dependent density functional theory use adiabatic functionals, i.e. the effective potential at time t is determined solely by the density at the same time. This paper discusses a method that aims to go…
