The one-particle Green function of a many-electron system is traditionally formulated within the self-energy picture. A different formalism was recently proposed, in which the self-energy is replaced by a dynamical exchange-correlation…

A widely used approximation to the exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory is the local density approximation (LDA), typically derived from the properties of the homogeneous electron gas (HEG). We previously introduced…
The density linear response function for an inhomogeneous system of electrons in equilibrium with an array of fixed ions is considered. Two routes to its evaluation for extreme conditions (e.g., warm dense matter) are considered. The first…

The Comment by Holas et al. [A. Holas, M. Cinal, and N. H. March, Phys. Rev. A 78, 016501 (2008)] on our recent paper [J. Schirmer and A. Dreuw, Phys. Rev. A 75, 022513 (2007)]. is an appropriate and valuable contribution. As a small…
Motivated by recent suggestions --to split the electron-electron interaction into a short-range part, to be treated within the density functional theory, and a long-range part, to be handled by other techniques-- we compute, with a…
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…
Time-dependent density functional theory continues to draw a large number of users in a wide range of fields exploring myriad applications involving electronic spectra and dynamics. Although in principle exact, the predictivity of the…
