Schrödinger equations for the square root density of an eigenmixture and % the square root of an eigendensity spin matrix

Abstract

We generalize a "one eigenstate" theorem of Levy, Perdew and Sahni (LPS) to the case of densities coming from eigenmixture density operators. The generalization is of a special interest for the radial density functional theory (RDFT) for nuclei, a consequence of the rotational invariance of the nuclear Hamiltonian; when nuclear ground states (GSs) have a finite spin, the RDFT uses eigenmixture density operators to simplify predictions of GS energies into one-dimensional, radial calculations. We also study Schrödinger equations governing spin eigendensity matrices.
