We calculate the `exact' potential corresponding to a one-dimensional interacting system of two electrons with a specific, tailored density. We use one-dimensional density-functional theory with a local-density approximation (LDA) on the…
We have found a (dense) basis for the N-representable, two-electron densities, in which all N-representable two-electron densities can be expanded, using positive coefficients. The inverse problem of finding a representative wavefunction,…
In the full quantum theory, the energy of a many-body quantum system with a given one-body density is described by the Levy-Lieb functional. It is exact, but very complicated to compute. For practical computations, it is useful to introduce…
The ``extended Overhauser model'' [Overhauser, Can. J. Phys. 1995, 73, 683] for the calculation of the spherically and system-averaged pair density (APD) has been recently combined with the Kohn-Sham equations to yield realistic APD and…

It is shown for two electron atoms that ground-state wavefunctions of the form \begin{equation} \Psi(\vec{r_{1}}, \vec{r_{2}})=\phi(\vec{r_{1}})\phi(\vec{r_{2}})(\cosh ar_{1}+\cosh ar_{2})(1+0.5 r_{12}e^{-b r_{12}}) \end{equation} where…
The gas of the interacted electrons is usually described within Kohn-Sham approximation by the set of Poisson and Schr\"{o}dinger equations with an effective potential for the single-particle wave functions. The solution of these equations…
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…
As shown by Overhauser and others, accurate pair densities for the uniform electron gas may be found by solving a two-electron scattering problem with an effective screened electron-electron repulsion. In this work we explore the extension…
