The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density-functional theory (DFT) is broadly considered the conceptual basis for a full characterization of an electronic system in its ground state by just the one-body particle density. Part I of this review…

Density functional theory (DFT) has become a basic tool for the study of electronic structure of matter, in which the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem plays a fundamental role in the development of DFT. Unfortunately, the existing proofs are…

At the basis of much of computational chemistry is density functional theory, as initiated by the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem. The theorem states that, when nuclei are fixed, nuclear potentials are determined by $1$-electron densities. We recast…
