## Application of the virial theorem to the interelectronic Coulomb repulsion shows that the virial of the exchange potential yields the exchange energy. However, the virial of the correlation potential does not yield the correlation energy. We have recently constructed a ''hypercorrelated'' potent

✦ Synopsis
Recently, we used Helmholtz's theorem to construct an unambiguous exchange᎐correlation energy density for use in density functional theory. This energy density requires only knowledge of the density dependence of the exchange᎐correlation energy functional, E , for its calculation. We calculate this energy density for Hooke's XC Ž . atom in three different regimes: the high-density or weakly correlated limit; a moderate density, comparable to that of the He atom; and a low density, in which the system is strongly correlated. We compare the exact unambiguous energy density with approximate energy densities found from approximate energy functionals. The exchange᎐correlation energy can be deduced directly from the density in the highly correlated limit and a new formula for the high-density limit of the correlation energy is given.

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
A simple model is studied for the atomic exchange energy density functional, which is based on the exponential decaying feature of the density and the Fermi᎐Amaldi model for exchange correlation. The model is exact for hydrogen-like atoms. It is shown to provide a reasonable approximation for many-e

The corresponding functional derivatives are obtained and used in pseudo-eigenvalue equations analogous to the Kohn᎐Sham ones. The examples studied include atomic systems from He to Ar. The val
