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…

We present an alternative to the Kohn-Sham formulation of density functional theory for the ground-state properties of strongly interacting electronic systems. The idea is to start from the limit of zero kinetic energy and systematically…

The paper investigates dynamical systems for which the derivative of some positive-definite function along the solutions of this system depends on so-called density function. In turn, such dynamical systems are called density systems. The…

As density functional theory conventionally assumes that the density of a chosen model system (e.g., the Kohn-Sham system) is the same as the exact one, one might expect that approximations to the exact density introduce supplementary…
