Abstract

The main aim of density functional theory (Hohenberg et al., 1964; R.G. Parr, 1983; Parr et al, 1989) is to use the density as the fundamental variable instead of the many-particle wave function and then to explore the ground-state properties of a system of interacting electrons. The fact that the ground-state properties of a system of interacting electrons are functionals of the electron density provides the basic framework of such formalism.
