TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that the density of an eigenstate and its density can be used as the basic variable for calculating the properties of excited states and an extension of the Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham theory for excited states has also been developed.
Abstract
It is shown that the density can be used as the basic variable for calculating the properties of excited states. The correspondence is not between an eigenstate and its density, as is the case with the ground state, but between the subspace spanned by the number of lowest-energy eigenstates and the sum of their densities. An extension of the Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham theory (1964-5) for excited states has also been developed. The equations derived are similar in form to those for the ground-state density but the interpretation is different. The lowest-order approximation of the present theory coincides with Slater's 'transition-state' theory (1974).

Inhomogeneous Electron Gas

TL;DR: In this article, the ground state of an interacting electron gas in an external potential was investigated and it was proved that there exists a universal functional of the density, called F[n(mathrm{r})], independent of the potential of the electron gas.

Exchange and correlation in atoms, molecules, and solids by the spin-density-functional formalism

TL;DR: The spin-density-functional (SDF) formalism has been used for the interpretation of approximate versions of the theory, in particular the local-spin-density (LSD) approximation, which is formally valid only in the limit of slow and weak spatial variation in the density as discussed by the authors.
