  • In short order we had recast the Rayleigh-Ritz variational theorem for the groundstate energy in terms of the density n (r) instead of the many electron wave function, leading to what is now called the Hohenberg Kohn (HK) variational principle.

  • Finally it occurred to me that for a single particle there is an explicit elementary relation between the potential v (r) and the density, n (r), of the groundstate.
