Theoretical studying spectrum of doubly excited valence states of the ytterbium is carried out within the relativistic many-body perturbation theory and generalized relativistic energy approach. The zeroth approximation of the relativistic perturbation theory is provided by the optimized Dirac-Kohn-Sham ones. Optimization has been fulfilled by means of introduction of the parameter to the Kohn-Sham exchange potentials and further minimization of the gauge-non-invariant contributions into radiation width of atomic levels with using relativistic orbital set, generated by the corresponding zeroth approximation Hamiltonian.
