Density functional theory: Approximating quasiparticle density functional

A constructive approach for deriving the approximating quasiparticle energy density functional is proposed. As a matter of fact, the proposed approach is the direct development of the Kohn–Sham quasiparticle concept and the Levy–Valone approach. The approach presented takes into account a pseudopotential character of the exchange-correlation part of the density functional and results in a system of functional equations to obtain ground-state energies of many-electron systems.
