Abstract

Nonrigorous character of the density-functional theory for inhomogeneous electron gas based on the hypothesis assuming the existence of a universal density functional is demonstrated. A single-particle density matrix must be determined to calculate the ground-state energy of a finite system with a finite number of electrons. A single-particle Green function can be used to unambiguously determine the ground-state energy of an inhomogeneous electron system that satisfies the thermodynamic limit.
