Orbital-free density functional theory using higher-order finite differences

Density functional theory (DFT) is not only an accurate but also a widely used theory for describing the quantum-mechanical electronic structure of matter. In this approach, the intractable problem of interacting electrons is simplified to a tractable problem of non-interacting electrons moving in a...
