The exchange-correlation potential associated with excited-state density functional theory is studied numerically using accurate electron densities for ground and excited states of He, Be, Ne, Mg, and Ar. The long-range and short-range behaviors of this potential are discussed. First-excitation ener

โฆ Synopsis
We have performed self-consistent calculations for first and second row atoms using a variant of density-functional theory, the optimized effective potential method, with an approximation due to Krieger, Li and Iafrate and a correlation-energy functional developed by Colle and Salvetti. The mean absolute deviation of first-row atomic ground-state energies from the exact non-relativistic values is 4.7 mE h in our scheme, as compared to 4.5 mE h in a recent configuration-interaction calculation. The proposed scheme is significantly more accurate than the conventional Kohn-Sham method while the numerical effort involved is about the same as for an ordinary Hartree-Fock calculation.

Several different versions of density functional theory (DFT) that satisfy Hohenberg-Kohn theorems are characterized by different definitions of a reference or model state determined by an N-electron ground state. A common formalism is developed in which exact Kohn-Sham equations are derived for sta
