Due to efficient scaling with electron number N, density functional theory (DFT) is widely used for studies of large molecules and solids. Restriction of an exact mean-field theory to local potential functions has recently been questioned.…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the N-representability of the universal one-electron reduced density matrix functional. Functionals satisfying these conditions are guaranteed to yield variational upper bounds on 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…

Reduced density-matrix functional theory (RDMFT) is a promising alternative approach to the problem of electron correlation. Like standard density functional theory, it contains an unknown exchange-correlation functional, for which several…

Functionals that strive to correct for such self-interaction errors, such as those obtained by imposing the Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction or the generalized Koopmans' condition, become orbital dependent or orbital-density…

Minimizing the energy of an $N$-electron system as a functional of a two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM), constrained by necessary $N$-representability conditions (conditions for the 2-RDM to represent an ensemble $N$-electron…

A mathematical framework for reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) is proposed. The work is inspired by and generalizes the work by E.H.~Lieb [E.H. Lieb, Int. J. Quant. Chem. 24(1983), pp.243--277] on density-functional theory…

One of the major computational bottlenecks in one-body reduced density matrix (1RDM) functional theory is the evaluation of approximate 1RDM functionals and their derivatives. The reason is that more advanced approximate functionals are…

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…

A hybrid Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (KS-DFT) and 1-electron Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory (1-RDMFT) has recently been developed to describe strongly correlated systems at mean-field computational cost. This approach…

In practical implementations of density-functional theory, the only term where an orbital description is needed is the kinetic one. Even this term in principle depends on the density only, but its explicit form is unknown. We provide a…

We formulate and implement Cyclic Density Functional Theory (Cyclic DFT) -- a self-consistent first principles simulation method for nanostructures with cyclic symmetries. Using arguments based on Group Representation Theory, we rigorously…

We present a constructive solution to the N-representability problem---a full characterization of the conditions for constraining the two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM) to represent an N-electron density matrix. Previously known…

A crucial theorem in Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory (RDMFT) suggests that the universal pure and ensemble functional coincide on their common domain of pure N-representable one-matrices. We refute this by a comprehensive analysis…

The N-representability problem consists in determining whether, for a given p-body matrix, there exists at least one N-body density matrix from which the p-body matrix can be obtained by contraction, that is, if the given matrix is a p-body…

Locality of compact one-electron orbitals expanded strictly in terms of local subsets of basis functions can be exploited in density functional theory (DFT) to achieve linear growth of computation time with systems size, crucial in…

In methods like geminal-based approaches or coupled cluster that are solved using the projected Schr\"odinger equation, direct computation of the 2-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM) is impractical and one falls back to a 2-RDM based…

We introduce 'single-particle-exact density functional theory' (1pEx-DFT), a novel density functional approach that represents all single-particle contributions to the energy with exact functionals. Here, we parameterize interaction energy…

The exponential computational cost of describing strongly correlated electrons can be mitigated by adopting a reduced density-matrix (RDM)-based description of the electronic structure. While variational two-electron RDM (v2RDM) methods can…

Our paper [Phys. Rev. A 93, 052512 (2016)], proposing a novel form of single determinant wave function that admits non-idempotent 1-electron density matrices, has recently received a Comment [Phys. Rev. A ??, 0????? (2017)] suggesting a…
