Orbital-free linear-scaling DFT<br />
• Directly propose an approximate energy functional of<br />
the density<br />
• Difficulty: Kinetic energy functional. No ψ<br />
KS<br />
n for<br />
(and local pseudopotentials)<br />
• Linear scaling & extremely efficient<br />
(as empirical potentials)<br />
