Time-dependent Internal DFT formalism and Kohn-Sham scheme

Abstract

We generalize to the time-dependent case the stationary Internal DFT / Kohn-Sham formalism presented in Ref. [14]. We prove that, in the time-dependent case, the internal properties of a self-bound system (as an atomic nuclei) are all defined by the internal one-body density and the initial state. We set-up a time-dependent Internal Kohn-Sham scheme as a practical way to compute the internal density. The main difference with the traditional DFT / Kohn-Sham formalism is the inclusion of the center-of-mass correlations in the functional.
