Exact density functionals for the exchange and correlation energies are approximated in practical calculations for the ground-state electronic structure of a many-electron system. An important exact constraint for the construction of…
The Hohenberg-Kohn (HK) theorem -- the bedrock of density functional theory (DFT) -- establishes a universal map from the external potential to the energy. It also relates the electron density and atomic forces to the variation of the…
Based on exact limits and quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we obtain, at any density and spin polarization, an accurate estimate for the energy of a modified homogeneous electron gas where electrons repel each other only with a long-range…
Orbital-free density functional theory promises to deliver linear-scaling electronic structure calculations. This requires the knowledge of the non-interacting kinetic-energy density functional (KEDF), which should be accurate and must…
The theory of the macroscopic field appearing in the Kohn-Sham exchange-correlation potential for dielectric materials, as introduced by Gonze, Ghosez and Godby, is reexamined. It is shown that this Kohn-Sham field cannot be determined from…

It is known that the asymptotic decay of the electron density $n(\br)$ outside a molecule is informative about its first ionization potential $I_0$, $n(|\br|\to\infty) \sim \text{exp}(-2\sqrt{2I_0}\,r)$. This dictates the orbital energy of…
We perform model calculations for a stretched LiF molecule, demonstrating that nonadiabatic charge transfer effects can be accurately and seamlessly described within a density functional framework. In alkali halides like LiF, there is an…
An extended electron model fully recovers many of the experimental results of quantum mechanics while it avoids many of the pitfalls and remains generally free of paradoxes. The formulation of the many-body electronic problem here resembles…
Density functional theory has been an essential analysis tool for both theoretical and experimental chemists since accurate hybrid functionals were developed. Here we propose a local hybrid method derived from the optimized effective…
We present an energy expression for restricted open-shell Kohn-Sham theory for N unpaired electrons and single-electron operators for all multiplets formed from up to five unpaired electrons. It is shown that it is possible to derive an…
Uniqueness of effective interaction defined in an extension of the Kohn-Sham theory is proved, if the model with a non-degenerate ground state exists and to reproduce a correlation function as well as the single-particle density of an…
The density functional theory is used to study the electronic structure of a quantum wire in a magnetic field. The Kohn-Sham equations are solved numerically for different values of electron densities and filling factors. The critical…
The formalism developed in the first paper of the series [arXiv:0901.1060] is applied to two thermodynamic systems: (i) of three global observables (the energy, the total electron number and the spin number), (ii) of one global observable…
The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and Kohn-Sham procedure are extended to functionals of the localized intrinsic density of a self-bound system such as a nucleus. After defining the intrinsic-density functional, we modify the usual Kohn-Sham…

We discuss several aspects of the dielectric response theory application to the density functional theory. This field has been an unceasing source of confusion during several decades. The most frequent reasons for this confusion are (a)…
