E v [n] = T s [n] + v(r) n(r) d3 r + E artree [n] + E xc [n] With T s [n] the kinetic energy functional of independent electrons, and E xc [n] the unknown functional. The challenge is to find useful, approximate xc functionals. Walter Kohn The Kohn-Sham Ansatz of Density-Functional Theory Kohn-Sham (1965): Replace the original many-body problem by an independent Approximate xc functionals have been very electron problem that can be solved! successful E v [n] = T s [n] + v(r) n(r) d3 r + E artree [n] + E xc [n] With T s [n] the kinetic energy functional of independent electrons, and E xc [n] the unknown functional.
