Abstract:The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem proves the existence of a universal energy functional. But still its explicit structure is unknown. Unknown parts of the energy functional, namely the kinetic and the exchange interaction energy are discussed. Based on a functional formulation of the virial theorem "functional equations" for these unknown quantities are deduced establishing a relation between the functional and its derivative. Though there is no general formalism for solving such equations they may be used to determi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
