Approximate normalizations for approximate density functionals

Adam Clay, Kiril Datchev, Wenlan Miao +3

It seems self-evident that a density functional calculation should be normalized to the number of electrons in the system. We present multiple examples where the accuracy of the ap…

Strong Electron Correlation from Partition Density Functional Theory

Yi Shi, Yuming Shi, Adam Wasserman

Standard approximations for the exchange-correlation (XC) functional in Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) typically lead to unacceptably large errors when applied to str…

Stretching bonds in Density Functional Theory without artificial symmetry breaking

Yuming Shi, Yi Shi, Adam Wasserman

Accurate first-principles calculations for the energies, charge distributions, and spin symmetries of many-electron systems are essential to understand and predict the electronic a…

Seven Useful Questions in Density Functional Theory

Steven Crisostomo, Ryan Pederson, John Kozlowski +6

We explore a variety of unsolved problems in density functional theory, where mathematicians might prove useful. We give the background and context of the different problems, and w…

Split Electrons in Partition Density Functional Theory

Kui Zhang, Adam Wasserman

Partition Density Functional Theory (P-DFT) is a density embedding method that partitions a molecule into fragments by minimizing the sum of fragment energies subject to a local de…

Inverse Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory: Progress and Challenges

Yuming Shi, Adam Wasserman

Inverse Kohn-Sham (iKS) problems are needed to fully understand the one-to-one mapping between densities and potentials on which Density Functional Theory is based. They are also i…
