We propose a density functional to find the ground state energy and density of interacting particles, where both the density and the pair density can adjust in the presence of an inhomogeneous potential. As a proof of principle we formulate…

Density-functional theory is a formally exact description of a many-body quantum system in terms of its density; in practice, however, approximations to the universal density functional are required. In this work, a model based on deep…

In this paper density functionals for Coulomb systems subjected to electric and magnetic fields are developed. The density functionals depend on the particle density, $\rho$, and paramagnetic current density, $j^p$. This approach is…

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…

A stochastic minimization method for a real-space wavefunction, $\Psi({\bf r}_{1},{\bf r}_{2}\ldots{\bf r}_{n})$, constrained to a chosen density, $\rho({\bf r})$, is developed. It enables the explicit calculation of the Levy constrained…

Density functional theory together with the Kohn-Sham scheme represent an efficient framework to recover the ground state density and energy of a many-body quantum system from an auxiliary ``non-interacting'' system (one-body with a local…

Density functional theory is usually formulated in terms of the density in configuration space. Functionals of the momentum-space density have also been studied, and yet other densities could be considered. We offer a unified view from a…

Quantum dots with conduction electrons or holes originating from several bands are considered. We assume the particles are confined in a harmonic potential and assume the electrons (or holes) belonging to different bands to be different…

We prove that the lowest free energy of a classical interacting system at temperature $T$ with a prescribed density profile $\rho(x)$ can be approximated by the local free energy $\int f_T(\rho(x))dx$, provided that $\rho$ varies slowly…

A density functional theory is developed for fermions in one dimension, interacting via a delta-function. Such systems provide a natural testing ground for questions of principle, as the local density approximation should work well for…

The density functional theory is extended to account for self-bound systems. To this end the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem is formulated for the intrinsic density and a Kohn-Sham like procedure for an $N$--body system is derived using the…
