Abstract
An algorithm for determination of the exchange potential is constructed and tested. It represents a one-step procedure based on the equations derived by Krieger, Li, and Iafrate (KLI) [Phys. Rev. A 46, 5453 (1992)], implemented already as an iterative procedure by K\"ummel and Perdew [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 043004 (2003)]. Due to suitable transformation of the KLI equations, we can solve them avoiding iterations. Our algorithm is applied to the closed-shell atoms, from Be up to Kr, within the DFT exchange-only approximation. Using pseudospectral techniques for representing orbitals, we obtain extremely accurate values of total and orbital energies with errors at least four orders of magnitude smaller than known in the literature.
