Abstract

Based on the theoretical analysis of the Kohn Nobel lecture, three important analytical observations regarding the fundamental statements of the density functional theory are presented. It is also noted that the Kohn-Sham equation formally coincides with the Hartree-Fock-Slater equation: both equations have a single-particle character and differ from each other only by additions to the Hartree potential.
