Abstract
Using the density functional adiabatic connection approach for an N-electron system it is shown that γ is the coupling constant that scales the electron–electron interaction strength. For the non-interacting Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian γ = 0 and for the fully interacting system γ = 1. is the Hartree plus exchange-correlation energy while f 0(r) and fγ(r) are the Fukui functions of the non-interacting and interacting systems, respectively. This identity can serve to test the internal self-consistency or quality of approximate functionals. The quality of some popular approximate exchange and correlation functionals are tested for a simple model system.
