In the accompanying Comment [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 67}, 056501 (2003)], I. Lindgren and S. Salomonson claim to prove for the Kohn-Sham kinetic energy functional of ground state electron density that a Fr\"echet functional derivative exists,…
In the density functional (DF) theory of Kohn and Sham, the kinetic energy of the ground state of a system of noninteracting electrons in a general external field is calculated using a set of orbitals. Orbital free methods attempt to…
The locality hypothesis in density-functional theory (DFT) states that the functional derivative of the Hohenberg-Kohn universal functional can be expressed as a local multiplicative potential function, and this is the basis of DFT and of…
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…
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…
A generalization of the Kohn--Sham approach is derived where the correlation-energy functional depends on the one-particle density matrix of noninteracting states and on the external potential from the interacting target-state. The…
We introduce a non-equilibrium density-functional theory of local temperature and associated local energy density that is suited for the study of thermoelectric phenomena. The theory rests on a local temperature field coupled to the…
The exchange-correlation energy in Kohn-Sham density functional theory is expressed as a functional of the electronic density and the Kohn-Sham orbitals. An alternative to Kohn-Sham theory is to express the energy as a functional of the…
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…
We derive a non-empirical, orbital-free density functional for the total energy of interacting electrons in two dimensions. The functional consists of a local formula for the interaction energy, where we follow the lines introduced by Parr…
Accurate local Kohn-Sham potentials have been constructed for the ground $1s^2 ^1S$ state and, in particular, for the lowest triplet $1s2s ^{3}S$ state of the helium atom, using electron densities from many-body calculations and the…
There is a number of explicit kinetic energy density functionals for non-interacting electron systems that are obtained in terms of the electron density and its derivatives. These semilocal functionals have been widely used in the…
Based on the Schrodinger equation, exact expressions for the non-relativistic particle energy in the local external field and the external field potential are derived as inhomogeneous density functionals. On this basis, it is shown that,…
Within exact electron density-functional theory, we investigate Kohn-Sham (KS) potentials, orbital energies, and non-interacting kinetic energies of the fractional ions of Li, C and F. We use quantum Monte Carlo densities as input, which…
Forty-five years after the point de d\'epart [1] of density functional theory, its applications in chemistry and the study of electronic structures keep steadily growing. However, the precise form of the energy functional in terms of the…
In the well-known Kohn-Sham theory in Density Functional Theory, a fictitious non-interacting system is introduced that has the same particle density as a system of $N$ electrons subjected to mutual Coulomb repulsion and an external…
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…
We show that the Hartree-Fock (HF) results cannot be reproduced within the framework of Kohn-Sham (KS) theory because the single-particle densities of finite systems obtained within the HF calculations are not $v$-representable, i.e., do…
We review the progress that has been recently made in the application of time-dependent density functional theory to thermoelectric phenomena. As the field is very young, we emphasize open problems and fundamental issues. We begin by…
This is a comment on the work of Kolomeisky et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 1146 (2000). We point out that they are using the wrong form of the energy functional for one-dimensional fermions. We point out two possible forms of the energy…
