Density functional theory is discussed in the context of one-particle systems. We show that the ground state density $\rho_0(x)$ and energy $E_0$ are simply related to a family of external potential energy functions with ground state wave…
We construct a density functional theory for two-dimension electron (hole) gases subjected to both strong magnetic fields and external potentials. In particular, we are focused on regimes near even-denominator filling factors, in which the…
A generalization of the Density Functional Theory is proposed. The theory developed leads to single-particle equations of motion with a quasi-local mean-field operator, which contains a quasi-particle position-dependent effective mass and a…

In the exact Kohn-Sham density-functional theory (DFT), the total energy versus the number of electrons is a series of linear segments between integer points. However, commonly used approximate density functionals produce total energies…
The treatment of degenerate states within Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) is a problem of longstanding interest. We propose a solution to this mapping from the interacting degenerate system to that of the noninteracting fermion…

We propose a framework to construct the ground-state energy and density matrix of an N-electron system by solving selfconsistently a set of single-particle equations. The method can be viewed as a non-trivial extension of the Kohn-Sham…
We re-adapt a spectral renormalization method, introduced in nonlinear optics, to solve the Kohn-Sham (KS) equations of density functional theory (DFT), with a focus on functionals based on the strictly-correlated electrons (SCE) regime,…
Density functional theory is generalized to incorporate electron-phonon coupling. A Kohn-Sham equation yielding the electronic density $n_U(\mathbf{r})$, a conditional probability density depending parametrically on the phonon normal mode…
A time-dependent current-density-functional theory for many-particle systems in interaction with arbitrary external baths is developed. We prove that, given the initial quantum state $|\Psi_0>$ and the particle-bath interaction operator,…
Following a recent work [Gal, Phys. Rev. A 64, 062503 (2001)], a simple derivation of the density-functional correction of the Hartree-Fock equations, the Hartree-Fock-Kohn-Sham equations, is presented, completing an integrated view of…
In an external constant magnetic field, so strong that the electron Larmour length is much shorter than its Compton length, we consider the modification of the Coulomb potential of a point charge owing to the vacuum polarization. We…
The State--Specific Kohn--Sham Density Functional Theory [arXiv:physics/0506037] is used to derive the Kohn-Sham exchange-correlation potential $\vxc$ and exchange-correlation energy $\Eco$ as explicit functionals of $v_s$ and $\phi_1$,…
Expectation values of the electromagnetic field and the electric current are introduced at space-time resolution which belongs to the quantum domain. These allow us to approach some key features of classical electrodynamics from the…
The ground states of few electrons confined in two vertically coupled quantum rings in the presence of an external magnetic field are studied systematically within the current spin-density functional theory. Electron-electron interactions…
We consider the electric and magnetic energy densities (or equivalently field fluctuations) in the space around a point-like field source in its ground state, after having subtracted the spatially uniform zero-point energy terms, and…
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…
