Title
Exchange potential via functional differentiation of the Dirac idempotent density matrix
Author
Abstract
Following two illustrative examples, a quite general form for the functional derivative of the Dirac density matrix gamma(r(1),r(2)) with respect to the electron density rho(r) is proposed. In turn, this functional derivative is related to a further three-point object, which reduces to the linear response function chi(0)(r(1),r) when r(2) tends to r(1). The main application is then to derive the exchange-only potential of density functional theory. To avoid heavy numerical work in molecules and clusters, an approximation is suggested, with major calculational simplifications as a probable consequence.
