Established a variational foundation for describing an interacting electronic ground state through its density.

What is recorded here?

Established a variational foundation for describing an interacting electronic ground state through its density.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The theorem’s assumptions matter. It does not supply an exact practical exchange-correlation functional for every material.
