Density functional theory, and Kohn Sham equations

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking resources related to Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Kohn-Sham equations. Participants suggest that the original poster clarify their previous research efforts and access to physics journals. Several online resources, including arXiv papers, are recommended for further reading. Additionally, the importance of understanding Hartree-Fock formalism as a foundation for DFT is emphasized, with suggestions to consult general quantum chemistry texts. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for thorough preliminary research before seeking external assistance.

Er... you should explain a little bit more here. Did you try looking for them yourself and couldn't find them? Do you have access to physics journals? If you don't, there's no point in people giving you references to those. If you do, did you try doing your own search and didn't find any? Etc etc...

There are many available on the web from just a simple search:

Zz.
 
The Atkins book is pretty good about deriving the ab initio methods.
 
The basis of understanding DFT is hatree-fock formalism. Therefore if you want to get complete picture of how DFT gets around problems of hatree-fock, i would recomment you to read any general book on quantum chemistry which treats hatree-fock mathematically.
Its a brave step to start from the very basic steps of its formalism but it pays well in seeing thebig picture.

good luck
