Exact density functional obtained via the Levy constrained search
A stochastic minimization method for a real-space wave function, Ψ(r1, r2⋯rn), constrained to a chosen density, ρ(r), is developed. It enables the explicit calculation of the Levy constrained search, F[ρ] = minΨ→ρ<Ψ|T + Vee|Ψ>, which gives the exact functional of density functional theory. Thi...

| Sumario: | A stochastic minimization method for a real-space wave function, Ψ(r1, r2⋯rn), constrained to a chosen density, ρ(r), is developed. It enables the explicit calculation of the Levy constrained search, F[ρ] = minΨ→ρ<Ψ|T + Vee|Ψ>, which gives the exact functional of density functional theory. This general method is illustrated in the evaluation of F[ρ] for densities in one dimension with a soft-Coulomb interaction. Additionally, procedures are given to determine the first and second functional derivatives, δF/δρ(r) and δ2F/[δρ(r)δρ(r′)]. For a chosen external potential, v(r), the functional and its derivatives are used in minimizations over densities to give the exact energy, Ev, without needing to solve the Schrödinger equation |
