We review and expand on our work to impose constraints on the effective Kohn Sham (KS) potential of local and semi-local density functional approximations. In this work, we relax a previously imposed positivity constraint, which increased…

It is shown here that Kohn-Sham equations cannot be derived from Hohenberg-Kohn theory without an additional postulate. Assuming that a functional derivative with respect to total electron density exists leads in general to a theory…

A functional $E_{xc}[\rho(\r,\epsilon)]$ is presented, in which the exchange and correlation energy of an electron gas depends on the local density of occupied states. A simple local parametrization scheme is proposed, entirely from first…

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…

We propose a systematic and constructive way to determine the exchange-correlation potentials of density-functional theories including vector potentials. The approach does not rely on energy or action functionals. Instead it is based on…

We formulate a time-dependent density functional theory for the coupled dynamics of electrons and nuclei that goes beyond the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. We prove that the time-dependent marginal nuclear probability density…
