We show that classical density functional theory can be based on the constrained search method [M. Levy, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 76, 6062 (1979)]. From the Gibbs inequality one first derives a variational principle for the grand potential as…
Density functional theory constitutes the workhorse of modern electronic structure calculations due to its favourable computational cost despite the fact that it usually fails to describe strongly correlated systems. A particularly…
