The density functional theory proposed earlier for excited states of Coulomb systems is discussed. The localized Hartree–Fock (LHF) and the Krieger, Li, and Iafrate (KLI) methods combined with correlation are generalized for excited states. Illustrative examples include some highly excited states of Li and Na atoms.

We propose first a generalization of the Density Functional Theory leading to single-particle equations of motion with a quasilocal mean-field operator containing a position-dependent effective mass and a spin-orbit potential. Ground-state properties of doubly magic nuclei are obtained within this framework using the Gogny D1S force and compared with the exact Hartree-Fock values. Next, extend the Density Functional Theory to include pairing correlations without formal violation of the particle-number condition. This theory, which is nonlocal, is simplified by a suitable quasilocal reduction. Some calculations to show the ability of this theory are presented.

The quadrupole polarizability and Sternheimer antishielding factor have been calculated for selected closed-shell atoms and ions using the density functional theory. In most cases, the results agree favourably with coupled Hartree–Fock calculations. However, for atoms with valence (d-shells the local density approximation used in the calculations is found to be inadequate. Our results suggest that refinements to the exchange-correlation energy functional are required in order to obtain accurate values for the polarizability and shielding factor of (d-shell atoms within a density functional approach.

A fully numerical method for the time-dependent Hartree–Fock and density functional theory (TD-HF/DFT) with the Tamm–Dancoff (TD) approximation is presented in a multiresolution analysis (MRA) approach.

A time-independent density functional theory for excited states of Coulomb systems has recently been proposed in a series of papers. It has been revealed that the Coulomb density determines not only its Hamiltonian, but the degree of excitation as well. A universal functional valid for any excited state has been constructed. The excited-state Kohn–Sham equations bear resemblance to those of the ground-state theory. In this paper, it is studied how the excited-state functionals behave under coordinate scaling. A few relations for the scaled exchange, correlation, exchange-correlation, and kinetic functionals are presented. These relations are expected to be advantageous for designing approximate functionals.

The density functional theory developed earlier for Coulombic excited states is reconsidered using the nodal variational principle. It is much easier to solve the Kohn–Sham equations, because only the correct number of nodes of the orbitals should be insured instead of the orthogonality.
