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…

We introduce a new form of density functional theory for the {\em ab initio} description of electronic systems in contact with a molecular liquid environment. This theory rigorously joins an electron density-functional for the electrons of…

Orbital-free density functional theory (OFDFT) offers a challenging way of electronic-structure calculations scaled as $\mathcal{O}(N)$ computation for system size $N$. We here develop a scheme of the OFDFT calculations based on the…

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 present the first calculations of the inelastic part of the dynamical structure factor (DSF) for warm dense matter (WDM) using Time-Dependent Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory (TD-OF-DFT) and Mixed-Stochastic-Deterministic (mixed)…

Density-potential functional theory (DPFT) is an alternative formulation of orbital-free density functional theory that may be suitable for modeling the electronic structure of large systems. To date, DPFT has been applied mainly to quantum…

Density functional theory has become the workhorse of quantum physics, chemistry, and materials science. Within these fields, a broad range of applications needs to be covered. These applications range from solids to molecular systems, from…

Predicting interfacial thermodynamics across molecular and continuum scales remains a central challenge in computational science. Classical density functional theory (cDFT) provides a first-principles route to connect microscopic…

Adopting an accurate kinetic energy density functional (KEDF) to characterize the noninteracting kinetic energy within the framework of orbital-free density functional theory (OFDFT) is challenging. We propose a new form of the non-local…

We showcase the advantages of orbital-free density-potential functional theory (DPFT), a more flexible variant of Hohenberg-Kohn density functional theory. DPFT resolves the usual trouble with the gradient-expanded kinetic energy functional…

Ideal density-functional approximations (DFAs) should account for dynamic, static, and nondynamic correlation. While common DFAs struggle with the latter two, the Ziegler-Rauk-Baerends-Daul multiplet sum method (MSM) provides a pragmatic…

Developing a reliable kinetic energy density functional within orbital-free density functional theory remains a long-standing challenge, particularly for atomic and molecular systems. A major difficulty lies in the absence of a systematic…

The exact universal functional of integer charge leads to an extension to fractional charge asymptotically when it is applied to a system made of asymptotically separated densities. The extended functional is asymptotically local and is…

An axiomatic approach is herein used to determine the physically acceptable forms for general $D$-dimensional kinetic energy density functionals (KEDF). The resulted expansion captures most of the known forms of one-point KEDFs. By…

We present an accurate free-energy functional for liquid water written in terms of a set of effective potential fields in which fictitious noninteracting water molecules move. The functional contains an \emph{exact} expression of the…

Density functional theory (DFT) is a powerful theoretical tool widely used in such diverse fields as computational condensed matter physics, atomic physics, and quantum chemistry. DFT establishes that a system of $N$ interacting electrons…

We construct and study several semilocal density functional approximations for the positive Kohn-Sham kinetic energy density. These functionals fit the kinetic energy density of the Airy gas and they can be accurate for integrated kinetic…

Density functional theory (DFT) has emerged as one of the most versatile and lucrative approaches in electronic structure calculations of many-electron systems in past four decades. Here we give an account of the development of a…

Effective field theory (EFT) methods are applied to density functional theory (DFT) as part of a program to systematically go beyond mean-field approaches to medium and heavy nuclei. A system of fermions with short-range, natural…

We have developed and implemented a new quantum molecular dynamics approximation that allows fast and accurate simulations of dense plasmas from cold to hot conditions. The method is based on a carefully designed orbital-free implementation…
