A detailed account of the Kohn-Sham (KS) algorithm from quantum chemistry, formulated rigorously in the very general setting of convex analysis on Banach spaces, is given here. Starting from a Levy-Lieb-type functional, its convex and lower semi-continuous extension is regularized to obtain differentiability. This extra layer allows us to rigorously introduce, in contrast to the common unregularized approach, a well-defined KS iteration scheme. Convergence in a weak sense is then proven. This…

The Moreau-Yosida regularization is applied to construct pairs of conjugate functionals ((ε)E, (ε)F) that converge to (E, F) pointwise everywhere as ε → 0(+), and such that (α)F is (Fréchet) differentiable, allowing for an exact, differentiable formulation of density-functional theory.
