6 OEP equations SDFT We need to solve: R v (r) occ un ( ) ρ ij (r) δv s (r) = Λ ij + c.c. = 0 (1) Bs,A s ε i ε j R B (r) R A (r) Λ ij δb s (r) = vs,a s i occ i i j un j j ( ) m ij (r) Λ ij + c.c. = 0 (2) ε i ε j occ un ( ) j ij (r) δa s (r) = Λ ij + c.c. = 0 (3) vs,b s ε i ε j = ( Vij NL ) ρ ij(r)v x (r)dr j ij(r) A x (r)dr m ij(r) B x (r)dr vs SDFT for solids: Sharma

7 terative solution of OEP equations At the solution the residue should be zero: R v (r) [v s] δv s (r) = 0 Therefore by repeatedly adding the intermediate residues to the exchange potential v (i) we can converge to the solution. x (r) = v x (i 1) (r) τr v (i) (r) S.
