✦ Synopsis

The square root of the density p"' satisfies a Schrodinger equation with an effective local potential Wr). The form of this potential is obtained for (a) the ground state of the Be atom, (b) neutral atoms in the limit of very large atomic number from the statistical theory, and (c) almost spherical molecules XH4, again in the limit of many electrons. Some comments are made on the possibility of relatiyistic generalization of this method.
