Can anyone help me understand how to arrive at the expression (16) in the following link?

I don't see how it follows from insertion into (14), but I have seen exactly this transition happen several places in litterature. There is only a linear term in the electron density, since the Kohn Sham equations has been used to put all the nasty stuff into the exchange-correlation function (as far as I understand).

Could you be more concrete about which term you don't understand?

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
