We present a method to invert a given density and find the Kohn-Sham (KS) potential in Density Functional Theory (DFT) which shares that density. Our method employs the concept of screening density, which is naturally constrained by the inversion procedure and thus ensures the density being inverted leads to a smooth KS potential with correct asymptotic behaviour. We demonstrate the applicability of our method by inverting both local (LDA) and non-local (Hartree-Fock and Coupled Cluster) densities; we also show how the method can be used to mitigate the effects of self-interactions in common DFT potentials with appropriate constraints on the screening density.

Density functional theory (DFT) and beyond-DFT methods are often used in combination with photoelectron spectroscopy to obtain physical insights into the electronic structure of molecules and solids. The Kohn-Sham eigenvalues are not electron removal
energies except for the highest occupied orbital. The eigenvalues of the highest occupied molecular orbitals often underestimate the electron removal or ionization energies due to the self-interaction (SI) errors in approximate density functionals. In this work, we adapt and implement the density-consistent effective potential(DCEP) method of Kohut, Ryabinkin, and Staroverov to obtain SI corrected local effective potentials from the SI corrected Fermi-Lowdin orbitals and density in the FLOSIC scheme. The implementation is used to obtain the density of states (photoelectron spectra) and HOMO-LUMO gaps for a set of molecules and polyacenes. Good agreement with experimental values is obtained compared to a range of SI uncorrected density functional approximations.
We construct exact Kohn-Sham potentials for the ensemble density-functional theory (EDFT) from the ground and excited states of helium. The exchange-correlation (XC) potential is compared with the quasi-local-density approximation and both single det
erminant and symmetry eigenstate ghost-corrected exact exchange approximations. Symmetry eigenstate Hartree-exchange recovers distinctive features of the exact XC potential and is used to calculate the correlation potential. Unlike the exact case, excitation energies calculated from these approximations depend on ensemble weight, and it is shown that only the symmetry eigenstate method produces an ensemble derivative discontinuity. Differences in asymptotic and near-ground-state behavior of exact and approximate XC potentials are discussed in the context of producing accurate optical gaps.
In numerical computations of response properties of electronic systems, the standard model is Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). Here we investigate the mathematical status of the simplest class of excitations in KS-DFT, HOMO-LUMO excitati
ons. We show using concentration-compactness arguments that such excitations, i.e. excited states of the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian, exist for $Z>N$, where $Z$ is the total nuclear charge and $N$ is the number of electrons. The result applies under realistic assumptions on the exchange-correlation functional, which we verify explicitly for the widely used PZ81 and PW92 functionals. By contrast, and somewhat surprisingly, we find using a method of Glaser, Martin, Grosse, and Thirring cite{glaser1976} that in case of the hydrogen and helium atoms, excited states do not exist in the neutral case $Z=N$ when the self-consistent KS ground state density is replaced by a realistic but easier to analyze approximation (in case of hydrogen, the true Schr{o}dinger ground state density). Implications for interpreting minus the HOMO eigenvalue as an approximation to the ionization potential are indicated.
A Kohn-Sham (KS) inversion determines a KS potential and orbitals corresponding to a given electron density, a procedure that has applications in developing and evaluating functionals used in density functional theory. Despite the utility of KS
The Kohn-Sham approach to time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) can be formulated, in principle exactly, by invoking the force-balance equation for the density, which leads to an explicit expression for the exchange-correlation potential a
s an implicit density functional. It is shown that this suggests a reformulation of TDDFT in terms of the second time derivative of the density, rather than the density itself. The result is a time-local Kohn-Sham scheme of second order in time whose causal structure is more transparent than that of the usual Kohn-Sham formalism. The scheme can be used to construct new approximations at the exchange-only level and beyond, and it offers a straightforward definition of the exact adiabatic approximation.
