In the exact Kohn-Sham density-functional theory (DFT), the total energy versus the number of electrons is a series of linear segments between integer points. However, commonly used approximate density functionals produce total energies…

It has been previously proven that the Kohn-Sham kinetic energy functional scales homogeneusly under generalized coordinate scaling, in a way that is obeyed by the von Weiz\"acker functional, but seems to be in contradiction with the…
The magnetic extension of the Thomas-Fermi-Weizs\"acker kinetic energy is used within density-functional-theory to numerically obtain the ground state densities and energies of two-dimensional quantum dots. The results are thoroughly…
We formulate the Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) as a statistical theory in which the electron density is deter-mined from an average of correlated stochastic densities in a trace formula. The key idea is that it is sufficient…
We demonstrate that the Weizs\"acker potential is an exact term in the universal functional in density functional theory (DFT) for the ground state of a system with $N$ electrons. This proof uses no approximations or physical arguments, and…
