Finding the exact functional for even one trial density requires solving the interacting Schr\u00f6dinger equation many times. The density matrix renormalization group method makes this possible for one-dimensional, real-space systems of more than two interacting electrons. We illustrate and explore the convergence properties of the exact KS scheme for both weakly and strongly correlated systems. We also explore the spin-dependent generalization and densities for which the functional is ill defined. 0.5cm [![image](EEvsdens.pdf){width=\"70.00000%\"} 0.01cm Example of a [*reasonable*]{} density (with finite kinetic energy) whose Kohn-Sham potential exists on any grid, but is unphysical in the continuum limit. ]{}'\nbibliography:\n- 'ksdft.bib'\nnocite:\n- '[@RSvol2]'\n- '[@L14]'\n---\n\nFour score and seven years ago, our physics forebears [@T27; @F28] brought into this world a new theory, conceived in simplicity, and dedicated to the proposition that although all particles are waves [@S26], their density can be simply calculated [@T27; @F28]. Now we are engaged in a great electronic structure debate, testing whether Kohn\u2013Sham theory [@KS65], or any density functional theory [@HK64] so conceived and so dedicated, can endure in the face of strongly correlated systems. We have come to dedicate a portion of this paper, as a final convergence proof [@WSBW13] for those who have dedicated their lives to developing the constrained search [@L83] and approximations thereto [@PW92; @Bb93; @PBE96]. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should prove this.\n\nKohn\u2013Sham (KS) [@KS65] density functional theory (DFT) is now a widely used electronic structure method, attaining useful accuracy with present approximations [@B12]. The method finds the ground-state energy of a many-electron, interacting system by solving an effective non-interacting problem. This non-interacting problem must be solved self-consistently, because its potential (the KS potential) is a functional of the electron density. The most vital piece of this KS potential is derived from the mysterious exchange-correlation functional, which can be computed exactly with great cost [@L79; @CCD09]. This exact functional provides the formal foundations of KS-DFT for all electronic systems (with some caveats) [@L83]. However, the utility of KS-DFT derives from simple and computationally efficient approximations to the exchange-correlation (XC) energy [@PW92; @Bb93; @PBE96] which can be surprisingly reliable and usefully accurate for broad classes of systems, yet fail badly for others.\n\nTraditionally, study of the exact XC energy functional focused on finding general exact properties that can either be built into approximations, or used to understand their failures [@LP85; @PBE96; @PK03; @PRTS05]. In studying the exact theory, we learn what is and is not reproduced by the exact functional; e.g.\u00a0that the HOMO-LUMO gap of the KS system is not equal to the fundamental (charge) gap of the system [@PL83; @SS83]. As computational power and algorithms evolved, it also became possible to take a highly accurate solution of the Schr\u00f6dinger equation, extract the ground-state density, and find the exact KS potential for the system of interest, notably for few electron systems [@AP84; @UG94; @LB94; @FUT94; @ZMP94; @GLB95; @FGU96; @LGB96; @GB96; @WSBW12]. These [*inversions*]{} are often quite demanding, since all quantities must be sufficiently accurate to extract the small differences in energies and potentials that form the various components of exchange and correlation.\n\nBut even such heroic efforts do [*not*]{} produce a way of solving the KS equations with the exact XC functional. This is because, in an actual KS calculation, the XC functional is needed not just for the ground-state density of the system to be solved, but for a sequence of trial densities that ultimately converges to the solution for that problem. To find the XC functional for some trial density, one must solve the Schr\u00f6dinger equation for the potential for which that density is the ground state, both for interacting and non-interacting electrons. Worse still, these potentials are a priori unknown. Advancing just one step in the KS calculations thus requires solving many interacting electronic problems in order to [*find*]{} the right potential that yields the trial density. We call this an interacting inversion, and previous examples have been limited to 2 electrons [@TGK08; @V08; @CCD09].\n\nIn this paper, we detail how to find the exact XC functional for realistic models of electrons in one dimension. By realistic, we mean models whose properties mimic those of real systems, and whose treatment with approximate density functionals yields results similar to those for real systems [@WSBW12]. We use the density matrix renormalization group [@White:1992; @White:1993a; @Schollwoeck:2005] to solve the Schr\u00f6dinger equation, because of its tremendous efficiency for one-dimensional (1d) systems. In , we used this capability to explore the convergence of a simple algorithm for the KS scheme, ultimately proving that, no matter how strongly correlated, convergence can always be achieved in a finite number of iterations. Various approximate functionals have their own convergence proofs [@CL00; @C00], but here we detail exactly how the exact calculations are done, and test further properties of the exact functional.\n\n\\[s:back\\]\n\nTypical solid state and quantum chemistry investigations into electronic structure begin with the non-relativistic continuum Hamiltonian in the Born\u2013Oppenheimer approximation, && + + \\[eqn:H\\]\\\n&& \\_[i=1]{}\\^[N]{}( -\\_i\\^2 + v(\\_i) ) + \\_[ij]{}\\^[N]{} , which describes the quantum behavior of $N$ electrons in an external potential $v(\\br)$ determined by the (classical) nuclei via the operators: the electron kinetic energy $\\hatT$, their potential energy $\\hatV$, and the electron-electron interaction $\\hatV\\ee$. The eigenstates $\\Psi_j$ and eigenvalues $E_j$ (the energies) of the Hamiltonian $\\hatH$ determine all the properties of the system.\n\nDespite being the key to everyday electronic structure, an accurate solution for even the ground-state energy $E$ and wavefunction $\\Psi$ is not presently tractable for large molecules. This problem continues to inspire the development of new approximations and methods to solve the many-body problem. Some methods\u2014such as Hartree\u2013Fock theory [@SO82], quantum Monte Carlo [@NU99], and coupled cluster [@SO82]\u2014attempt to approximate, sample, or construct the wavefunction. Density functional theory, on the other hand, approaches the many-body problem quite differently.\n\nWhile $\\Psi$ allows one to characterize the system completely, the much simpler ground-state electron density $n(\\br)$ was proven by Hohenberg and Kohn (HK) to also determine all the properties of the system [@HK64]. Their theorem allows us to formally work with the density as the basic variable instead of the wavefunction [@L83]. The keystone of this far-reaching proof is the one-to-one correspondence between the ground-state density $n(\\br)$ and the potential $v(\\br)$ of a system, which characterizes the system completely. This one-to-one mapping will be explored in greater detail in , since it is crucial for calculate the exact functional.\n\nAs an important mathematical aside, the potential corresponding to a given density is unique if it exists, but there are some densities $n(\\br)$ which are not [*ensemble $v$-representable,*]{} i.e. not the ground states of any potential $v(\\br)$ [@EE83]. We explore this complication later, in .\n\nA simple corollary of the HK theorem is that the ground-state energy of a system can be determined by minimizing over trial electron densities [@HK64] E\\_v &=& \\_n E\\_v\\[n\\] \\[eqn:E0\\]\\\nE\\_v\\[n\\] && F\\[ n\\] + n() v(), \\[eqn:Evn\\] where $F[n]$ accounts for the electronic kinetic energy and electron-electron repulsion energy, and is universal, i.e., independent of the external potential $v(\\br)$. When degeneracy is not an issue [@L82], the functional $F[n]$ can be found by minimizing the expectation value of $\\hatT + \\hatV\\ee$ over all properly antisymmetric wavefunctions $\\Psi$ that yield the density $n(\\br)$ [@L79; @L83]: F\\[ n\\] = \\_[n]{} |{ + } | , \\[eqn:F\\] and the minimizing $\\Psi$ is denoted $\\Psi[n]$. This is the [*pure-state*]{} formulation of DFT. The generalization for degenerate systems involves replacing the expectation value in Eq.\u00a0 with a trace over the ground-state ensemble $\\Gamma$ [@L83]. The only known way to exactly calculate the functional thus implicitly requires use of a wavefunction (or a density matrix for degenerate systems).\n\nWe now turn to the formulation of the most popular of DFT implementations, Kohn\u2013Sham DFT [@KS65]. Kohn\u2013Sham theory creates a doppelg\u00e4nger of the interacting system: a set of non-interacting electrons with the same density. This non-interacting system, the KS system, is characterized by its potential, $v\\s[n](\\br)$, defined implicitly so that a system of $N$ non-interacting electrons in this potential has density $n(\\br)$. This means that after solving the non-interacting Schr\u00f6dinger (i.e.\u00a0KS) equation and obtaining the KS orbitals $\\phi_j(\\br)$ (in Hartree units): { -\\^2 + v() } \\_j() = \\_j \\_j(). \\[eqn:KSeqn\\] One finds the density $n(\\br)$ by occupying the $N/2$ lowest-energy orbitals, n() = 2 \\_[j=1]{}\\^[N/2]{} |\\_j()|\\^2 \\[eqn:dens\\] (where for simplicity we assume that the system is spin-unpolarized). Obtaining the KS potential $v\\s[n](\\br)$ for a density $n(\\br)$ is an inverse problem, on a firm foundation through the HK theorem applied to non-interacting systems. (Some densities, however, will prove to be non-$v$-representable [@Leeuwen], so the potential $v\\s[n](\\br)$ is unique, up to a constant, but only if it exists.) Many algorithms to invert a density to find its KS potential have been suggested [@G92; @WP93; @LB94; @ZMP94; @LGB96; @SGB97; @PNW03]; ours will be described in .\n\nAs a descendent of DFT, Kohn\u2013Sham DFT determines the energy of a system by knowledge of the density alone. Within the KS framework, the universal functional $F[n]$ is written as F\\[n\\] = T+ U\\[n\\] + E\\[eqn:FKS\\] where $T\\s[n]$ is the kinetic energy of the KS orbitals: T-\\_[j=1]{}\\^[N/2]{} \\_j\\^\\*() \\^2 \\_j() ,\\[eqn:Ts\\] $U[n]$ is the Hartree energy: U\\[n\\] ,\\[eqn:U\\] and $E\\xc[n]$ is the exchange-correlation (XC) energy, defined by . Very successful (albeit crude) approximations to $E\\xc[n]$ have been developed [@PW92; @Bb93; @PBE96], which make KS theory a standard and practical approach to electronic structure. Our work focuses on the exact $E\\xc[n]$, with a few comparisons to the simplest density functional approximation, the local density approximation (LDA) [@PW92].\n\nThe KS framework offers a convenient way to minimize $E_v[n]$ as in , by solving non-interacting systems with an effective potential. We guess an input density $n_\\text{in}\\ord{i}(\\br)$ and use it to calculate a trial KS potential $v\\s\\ord{i}(\\br)$: v() = v() + v() + v(), \\[eqn:KSupdate\\] where $v\\H[n](\\br) = \\delta U[n] / \\delta n(\\br)$ is the Hartree potential: v() = , and $v\\xc[n](\\br) = \\delta E\\xc[n] / \\delta n(\\br)$ is the XC potential. The Hartree and XC potentials together account for two-body interactions [@BW12], and are found by taking functional derivatives of their parent energy functionals.\n\nAfter calculating $v\\s\\ord{i}(\\br)$ for the given input density, we solve the trial KS system (i.e.\u00a0 with our trial KS potential) to obtain an output density $n_\\text{out}\\ord{i}(\\br)$. If the output density equals the input density, we have achieved self-consistency and have found a stationary point of $E_v[n]$. This may be quantified by calculating a simple criterion for convergence: ( n\\_() - n\\_() )\\^2, \\[eqn:tolerance\\] declaring the calculation converged when $\\eta\\ord{i} < \\delta$, If the calculation has not converged, a new guess density $n\\ord{i+1}_\\text{in}(\\br)$, such as $n\\ord{i}_\\text{out}(\\br)$, is plugged into for the next iteration, and we repeat until converged. For the exact XC functional, the converged density is the ground-state density of interacting electrons in the potential $v(\\br)$ [@WSBW13]. This iterative-convergence procedure is known as the KS scheme [@DG90], and is illustrated in . The possibility of finding other stationary points besides the ground-state for the exact functional will be addressed in .\n\n(6,7) (0,0)[(6,7)[ ![The KS scheme.[]{data-label=\"KSscheme\"}](KSalgorithm.pdf \"fig:\"){width=\"9cm\"} ]{}]{} (-1.63,5.87)[(5,1)[Guess initial density]{}]{} (-1.63,4.76)[(5,1)[Create KS potential]{}]{} (-1.63,3.66)[(5,1)[Solve KS equations]{}]{} (-1.63,2.575)[(5,1)[Obtain new density]{}]{} (-1.63,1.47)[(5,1)[Converged?]{}]{} (-1.63,0.1)[(5,1)[Done]{}]{} (0.2,1.54)[*no*]{} (1.1,1.54)[*yes*]{} (2.61,5.13)[(5,1.1)]{} (2.61,3.655)[(5,1.1)[ ]{}]{} (2.61,2.06)[(5,1.1)[ $\\displaystyle n_\\text{out}(\\br) = 2 \\sum_{j=1}^{N/2} |\\phi^\\text{out}_j(\\br)|^2$ ]{}]{} (2.38,0.3)[(5,1.1)[ ]{}]{}\n\nThe Kohn\u2013Sham DFT approach to electronic structure thus converts the many-body problem into a non-interacting problem which must be solved self-consistently. The exact procedure requires finding the many-body system with a given density, with wavefunction $\\Psi[n]$, to determine $E\\xc[n]$ and $v\\xc[n](\\br)$, and thus is as costly as solving the original many-body problem (see ). However, the KS scheme would be neither useful nor practical at such a computational cost. Evaluating $v\\xc[n](\\br)$ at each iteration of the KS scheme is (usually) a trivial and inexpensive step with present approximations, since the functional derivative is known explicitly.\n\n\\[s:inv\\]\n\nInverting a density $n(\\br)$ to find its KS potential $v\\s[n](\\br)$, or to find its external potential $v[n](\\br)$ (for real, interacting electrons) is not a straightforward task. In this section we discuss how to do this for an arbitrary $v$-representable density. As a by-product of these inversions, we obtain the implicitly defined KS orbitals and interacting wavefunction $\\Psi[n]$, which allow us to evaluate the XC potential and energy in .\n\n[*Non-interacting inversions*]{} are performed to find the KS potential of exact densities for a variety of systems [@UG94; @GLB95; @WSBW12]. The notation we use for the potential corresponding to the density $n(\\br)$ of non-interacting electrons is $v\\s[n](\\br)$, which we have already seen in . This inversion is a simple matter for one or two electrons with opposite spins, since the KS equation can be rearranged to obtain: v() = + ,(N 2) \\[eqn:vSW\\] where $\\epsilon$ is a constant (the only occupied KS eigenvalue). For more electrons, one can use an iterative procedure to determine $v\\s[n](\\br)$. Initially a potential $v\\s\\ord{1}(\\br)$ is guessed, e.g.\u00a0. Then, starting with $i = 1$:\n\nFor the potential $v\\s\\ord{i}(\\br)$, solve the non-interacting Schr\u00f6dinger equation for orbitals $\\phi_j\\ord{i}(\\br)$, doubly-occupying to obtain the density $n\\ord{i}(\\br)$. \\[step:guess\\]\n\nIf $n\\ord{i}(\\br)$ is within tolerance of $n(\\br)$, we are done, i.e.\u00a0 $v\\s\\ord{i}(\\br) = v\\s[n](\\br)$ and $\\phi_j(\\br) = \\phi\\ord{i}_j(\\br)$. Otherwise, continue.\n\nA new potential $v\\s\\ord{i+1}(\\br)$ is chosen, based on how different $n\\ord{i}(\\br)$ is from $n(\\br)$. Roughly speaking, where $n\\ord{i}(\\br)$ is too low, the new potential $v\\s\\ord{i+1}(\\br)$ is lowered from the old $v\\s\\ord{i}(\\br)$, and where $n\\ord{i}(\\br)$ is too high, the new potential is raised. \\[step:update\\]\n\nIncrement $i$ and repeat steps \\[step:guess\\] to \\[step:end\\]. \\[step:end\\] The only difference between different inversion algorithms is how the new potential is determined in step \\[step:update\\]. The problem can be reduced to finding the root of a nonlinear function of many variables, which can be treated at various levels of sophistication [@NumRec]. We discuss Broyden\u2019s method at the end of this section. With the KS potential $v\\s[n](\\br)$ and orbitals $\\phi_j(\\br)$, we can evaluate functionals such as $T\\s[n]$ using .\n\n[*Interacting inversions*]{} are rarely done, since they are far more expensive than non-interacting inversions, and require solving the many-body problem many times. Only two-electron problems have been studied, in one case to understand the adiabatic approximation within TDDFT [@TGK08; @V08] and in another to study the self-interaction error within LDA [@CCD09]; though we have recently studied four-electron systems [@WSBW13]. The potential $v[n](\\br)$, which corresponds to the interacting system of electrons with density $n(\\br)$, can be found using the same algorithm as for $v\\s[n](\\br)$, though in step \\[step:guess\\] we must solve an interacting problem for the many-body wavefunction $\\Psi\\ord{i}$ rather than the non-interacting Schr\u00f6dinger equation for orbitals $\\phi\\ord{i}_j(\\br)$. At the end of the inversion we obtain $\\Psi[n]$, the wavefunction which minimizes $F[n]$ in , allowing us to compute $F[n]$ for that specific density.\n\n![ Density inversion of arbitrary 4-electron density for non-interacting and interacting potentials. Solving either the interacting Schr\u00f6dinger equation in the potential $v[n](x)$ or solving the non-interacting Schr\u00f6dinger equation in the potential $v\\s[n](x)$ yields the density in the top panel.[]{data-label=\"Cactus\"}](cactus.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\nTo illustrate the theory behind KS-DFT, we solve interacting systems using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) [@White:1992; @White:1993a], which is the most efficient wavefunction solver in 1d, capable of handling both strong and weak correlation. We apply DMRG to model 1d continuum systems by discretizing space into $N_g$ grid points with a small grid spacing $\\Delta$ [@SWWB12; @WSBW12]. With this method, we can invert 1d systems with over 100 electrons [@SWWB12]. For our model systems we employ a softened Coulomb interaction between electrons [@ESJ89; @TGK08; @HFCV11; @SWWB12; @WSBW12]: v(u) = 1/.\\[eqn:softee\\]\n\nFigure \\[Cactus\\] shows a four-electron example of an interacting inversion [^1]. For some arbitrary density like this one (meaning a density we would not find in nature), we want to find the associated KS and interacting potentials. This is the problem we encounter during the self-consistent calculation of the KS equations. Since we ultimately find $\\Psi[n]$ at the end of the inversion, we can evaluate $F[n]$ (given soft-Coulomb interactions); likewise with $\\phi_j(\\br)$ we can obtain $T\\s[n]$. For the example density of we find $F[n]=3.07$, $T\\s[n]=0.843$, $U[n] = 3.628$, so $E\\xc[n] = -1.397$. The XC energy is thus calculated using simple energy differences; and we obtain the XC potential in the same way. We further describe these matters in the next section.\n\nTo close this section, we describe our recipe for step \\[step:update\\] of the inversion algorithm. The idea is to build an approximation for the density-density response matrix, $\\chi$, which determines how a small change in the potential will change the density: (,\u2019) v(\u2019) = n(). Restricting our attention to 1d, we recast this equation as the matrix equation $\\chi\\, \\delta v = \\delta n$, where $\\chi$ is an (unknown) $N_g\\times N_g$ matrix, and $\\delta v$, $\\delta n$ are vectors with $N_g$ components, where $N_g$ is the number of grid-sites in the system. A constant change in the potential (i.e.\u00a0$\\delta v = c_1$) will give zero change in the density ($\\delta n = 0$), and a constant change in the density ($\\delta n = c_2$) is impossible, since $N$ is fixed. Therefore we consider orthonormal basis functions for changes in the potential and density which integrate to zero, encoded as columns in the matrices $W$ and $M$, respectively [@K83]. Within this basis, the density-density response matrix can be approximated by a smaller matrix, $A$: M A W\\^T. \\[chiSVD\\] This factorization of the matrix $\\chi$ looks very much like (and is inspired by) the singular value decomposition (SVD) of $\\chi$, which would give an exact breakdown of $\\chi$ into optimal bases $M$ and $W$, with $A$ being diagonal. We do not know $\\chi$ a priori, but an approximation to $\\chi$ (or $A$) can be iteratively improved using a quasi-Newton method (we use Broyden\u2019s method from ). We construct appropriate basis vectors for $M$ and $W$ using orthonormalized differences of trial densities from the target density. As $A$ is refined, the bases $M$ and $W$ can be optimized (if desired) by computing the SVD of $A$, a procedure which is also useful to compute $A^{-1}$, and thus $\\chi^{-1}$. The next trial potential for step \\[step:update\\] is determined by: $v\\ord{i+1} = v\\ord{i} + \\chi^{-1} (n - n\\ord{i})$. Typically around 20 basis vectors in $M$ and $W$ are required to obtain a trial density indistinguishable from the target density on the scale of .\n\n\\[s:KS\\]\n\nWe have now sufficient machinery to calculate the exact exchange-correlation energy and potential for any trial density, as encountered in the KS scheme. For convenience, we define $E\\Hxc[n] \\equiv U[n] + E\\xc[n]$, which can be evaluated (using and ) as: E= | { + } | - T.\\[eqn:EHxc\\] From Section \\[s:inv\\], we know how to obtain $\\Psi[n]$ and $T\\s[n]$ using inversions.

An analytic result confirms that, given $v$-representable densities, the only stationary point of the exact KS scheme is the ground-state density of the system [@PL85]. We can see this by plugging the exact $v\\Hxc[n](\\br)$ from into the KS update . The exact scheme then proceeds as v() := v() + ( v() - v\\[n\\_\\]() ),\\[eqn:exactKSupdate\\] with self-consistency reached when $v(\\br) = v[n_\\text{in}](\\br)$. This occurs at precisely one density: at the ground-state density $n\\gs(\\br)$, which is unique by the HK theorem. Thus the exact KS scheme has only one stationary point for $v$-representable densities.\n\nIn density functional theory, there is no guarantee that a KS potential exists for a given physical system. The guarantee is that if it does exist, it is unique and, as we pointed out above, the only stationary point of the KS equations. Densities with legitimate KS potentials are called non-interacting $v$-representable. We have performed many non-interacting inversions on accurate ground-state densities of atomic chains, and have always found their KS potentials to exist, even when the bond lengths are stretched. Since standard density functional approximations usually become inaccurate for strongly correlated systems, such as when bonds are stretched, a potential pitfall for KS-DFT is that such systems may fail to be non-interacting $v$-representable. While there are subtleties to identifying whether a density is $v$-representable or not (as discussed further in ), $v$-representability does not appear to be the main issue when strong correlation is involved [@Pc85; @BBS89; @HTR09; @TMM09]. Instead, good approximate functionals simply are missing at present [@FNGB05; @GB06]. If $v$-representability were to blame, the entire KS apparatus, despite being exact in principle, could not be applied to such systems. Happily, our results show no evidence of such a disastrous situation.\n\n\\[s:conv\\]\n\nKnowing that there is only one stationary point of the KS scheme (for $v$-representable densities) tells us nothing about the difficulty in finding it. In this section we consider the most basic part of the KS scheme \u2013 a single step in the KS algorithm \u2013 which will help us understand the convergence behavior of the exact functional for different systems. We will see why strongly correlated systems are more difficult to converge than weakly correlated systems.\n\nTo explore how the KS scheme converges, we calculate the energy of the system which interpolates between the input and output densities for a single step of the algorithm, measured against the ground-state energy: E() = E\\_v\\[n\\_\\] - E\\_v,\\[eqn:DeltaE\\] where $n_\\lambda(\\br)$ linearly interpolates between the input density (at $\\lambda = 0$) to the output density ($\\lambda = 1$), just as in . We plot $\\Delta E(\\lambda)$ as well as the input, output, and exact densities for various systems in Figures\u00a0\\[H4b2-onestep\\] and \\[H4b4-onestep\\]. As can be seen, the output density is in the right direction to minimize $E_v[n]$, but it overshoots the minimum. Starting the next iteration of the KS scheme with this output density would not (in general) allow convergence; therefore a mixture of the input and output densities is used as the next input, thus motivating . The optimal mixing $\\lambda$ minimizes $E_v[n_\\lambda]$ on the interval $(0,1]$, and could be found using a line search. But even with the optimal mixing, neither of the chosen starting points (a non-interacting and a pseudouniform density) produces the ground-state density on the first iteration, so it takes a few iterations to converge. It is perhaps surprising, however, that a single iteration of the KS scheme could get so close to the ground state. For the weakly correlated system (), the non-interacting starting point gets within $\\Delta E = 0.001$ of the ground-state energy with $\\lambda = 0.45$, whereas the pseudouniform starting point minimizes $\\Delta E = 0.004$ with $\\lambda=0.45$. For the strongly correlated system (), the optimal $\\lambda$\u2019s are smaller and the $\\Delta E$\u2019s are larger: the non-interacting initial point minimizes at $\\Delta E = 0.002$ with $\\lambda = 0.44$, and the pseudouniform initial point minimizes $\\Delta E$ at 0.094 around $\\lambda = 0.21$.\n\n![ A single step in the KS scheme for a weakly correlated system (H$_4$ with $R=2$) away from two different initial densities: non-interacting electrons in the external potential (NI) and a pseudouniform electron density (PU).

[]{data-label=\"H4b4-onestep\"}](H4b4onestep.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\nFigures \\[H4b2-onestep\\] and \\[H4b4-onestep\\] each plot only two cuts through the infinite-dimensional functional landscape.\n\nFigure \\[H4b2-onestep\\] models a weakly correlated system\u2014a four atom system with an interatomic spacing of $R=2$\u2014where a Slater determinant [@S29] of non-interacting electrons is a good approximation to the underlying wavefunction. But as we stretch the bonds to $R=4$ for , strong static correlation arises, and the KS wavefunction is less like the true wavefunction of the interacting system than that of . Thus the density of a non-interacting system in the external potential is a poor start for the KS scheme, and energy differences from the ground-state are larger for the strongly correlated system than for the weakly correlated system. Besides the scale, one might ask how the functional landscape differs between strongly correlated systems and weakly correlated systems. While the two NI curves in Figures \\[H4b2-onestep\\] and \\[H4b4-onestep\\] are deceptively similar, the PU curves begin to reveal the treacherous landscape of the strongly correlated system near the minimum.\n\nWe now look at the second iteration of the KS scheme to see if there is a difference between the strongly and weakly correlated systems. We choose the NI-path density from with a good (but not optimal) mixing of $\\lambda=42\\%$ as input into the KS equations. For the weakly correlated system of , the second KS step (not shown) looks much like the first step, though with a much smaller energy scale involved. Thus a fairly large $\\lambda$ may be used when correlations are weak, and convergence is rapid. But it is not the same for the strongly correlated system. As shown in , the next iteration of the KS procedure will not allow us to make the same giant stride as in the first iteration. For the new $\\lambda$-mixed density, we again evaluate $\\Delta E(\\lambda)$ from and find that it reaches a minimum much sooner. Thus a much smaller $\\lambda$\u2014around 6% as seen in the inset\u2014must be chosen in order not to go far off track. Furthermore, choosing even the optimal $\\lambda$ does not result in a much better energy as it did in the first iteration. This makes convergence a long and difficult process, since we can only afford to take small steps.\n\nIn the last part of this section, we give some formulas which may aid in determining the optimal $\\lambda$ each step. We consider derivatives of $E_v(\\lambda) \\equiv E_v[n_\\lambda]$ with respect to $\\lambda$. For example, large $E_v''(\\lambda) \\equiv d^2 E_v[n_\\lambda] / d \\lambda^2$ relative to the magnitude of $E_v'(\\lambda) \\equiv d E_v[n_\\lambda] / d \\lambda$ requires a smaller $\\lambda$ to lower the energy. Given some bound on $E_v''(\\lambda)$, one could analytically determine a safe (i.e.not too large or too small) approximation to the optimal $\\lambda$ [@A66]. The derivatives of $E_v(\\lambda)$ may be taken analytically [@U12; @WSBW13]:\n\n$$\\begin{aligned}\n\\label{eqn:1stfctderiv}\nE_v'(\\lambda)&=&\\left.\\intr \\frac{\\delta E_v[n]}{\\delta n(\\br)}\\right|_{n_\\lambda(\\br)}\n            \\big(n_1(\\br)-n_0(\\br)\\big) \n=\\intr \\Big(v(\\br)+v\\Hxc[n_\\lambda](\\br)-v\\s[n_\\lambda](\\br)\\Big)\n         \\big(n_1(\\br)-n_0(\\br)\\big)\\\\\nE_v''(\\lambda)&=&\\intrrp \\big(n_1(\\br)-n_0(\\br)\\big)\n    \\Big(f\\Hxc[n_\\lambda](\\br,\\br')-\\chi\\s^{-1}[n_\\lambda](\\br,\\br')\\Big)\n        \\big(n_1(\\br')-n_0(\\br')\\big),\n\\label{eqn:2ndfctderiv}\\end{aligned}$$\n\nwhere $n_1(\\br) = n_\\text{out}(\\br)$ and $n_0(\\br) = n_\\text{in}(\\br)$ for the current KS step of interest, the HXC kernel $f\\Hxc[n](\\br,\\br')$ is: f(,\u2019) = \\^[-1]{}\\[n\\](,\u2019) - \\^[-1]{}\\[n\\](,\u2019), and $\\chi\\s^{-1}[n](\\br,\\br') = \\delta v\\s[n](\\br) / \\delta n(\\br')$ ($\\chi^{-1}[n](\\br,\\br') = \\delta v[n](\\br) / \\delta n(\\br')$) is the non-interacting (interacting) inverse density-density response matrix. Calculating $f\\Hxc[\\n](\\br,\\br')$ is quite challenging, and has recently been evaluated with time dependence for some simple systems [@TK14].\n\nWe emphasize that $n_\\text{out}(\\br)$ is a functional of $n_\\text{in}(\\br)$ and does not depend on $\\lambda$ at all. Thus and are strictly functionals of the input density $n_0(\\br)$ alone.\n\nTowards the end of approximating the optimal $\\lambda$, one may fit $E_v[n_\\lambda]$ given some information on the derivatives. At the end points the derivatives simplify to $$\\begin{aligned}\nE_v'(0)&\\equiv&\\intr \\Big(v\\sone(\\br)-v\\szero(\\br)\\Big)\\big(n_1(\\br)-n_0(\\br)\\big)\\\\\nE_v'(1)&\\equiv&\\intr \\Big(v\\Hxcone(\\br)-v\\Hxczero(\\br)\\Big) \\big(n_1(\\br)-n_0(\\br)\\big),\\quad \\ \\\\end{aligned}$$ where $v\\sj(\\br) = v\\s[n_j](\\br)$ and $v\\Hxcj(\\br) = v\\Hxc[n_j](\\br)$. We find that in many systems a Hermite spline fit [@NumRec] (using $E_v(0)$, $E_v(1)$, and the derivatives $E_v'(0)$ and $E_v'(1)$) is a good approximation to the energy curve $E_v(\\lambda)$, or at least to where it attains the minimum. However, this fit requires an inversion to find $E_v(0)$ and $E_v'(0)$, which may be impractical for standard KS calculations.\n\n![ Taking a second step in the KS scheme for a strongly correlated system (H$_4$ with $R=4$). Panel (a) shows the input density which is near to the exact density (the $\\lambda = 42\\%$ density of the NI input density of ) and the resulting output density, which is far from the ground-state.

[]{data-label=\"H4b4-onestep2\"}](H4b4onestep2.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\n\\[s:diff\\]\n\nIn this section, we discuss an important reason why convergence is difficult for strongly correlated systems, and mention some algorithms which counteract the underlying problem. Frequently, systems with strong static correlation possess a small gap [@GS10], which in turn makes convergence difficult [@DS00]. We can understand this difficulty by considering the non-interacting density-density response matrix $\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$: (,\u2019) = 2 \\_[ij]{}\\^ \\_i() \\^\\*\\_j() \\_i\\^\\*(\u2019) \\_j(\u2019), where $0 \\le f_j \\le 1$ is the Fermi occupation of orbital $\\phi_j(\\br)$. For a small gap system, $\\epsilon\\LUMO - \\epsilon\\HOMO$ is particularly small, making that term in $\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$ especially large. This means that small changes in the KS potential can produce large changes in the density, which makes convergence in the KS scheme difficult. We can visualize this property by performing a singular value decomposition on $\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$, as in . Equivalently, since $\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$ is symmetric in $\\br, \\br'$, we can diagonalize $-\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$: (,\u2019) = -\\_[=1]{}\\^a\\_M\\_() M\\_(\u2019), \\[chisSVD\\] where $M_\\beta(\\br)$ ($a_\\beta$) are the eigenvectors (eigenvalues) of $-\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$. Since $\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$ is negative definite, we can order $a_{\\beta} \\ge a_{\\beta+1} > 0$. The breakdown in physically means that a change in the KS potential along the direction $-M_\\beta(\\br)$ produces a change in the density along $M_\\beta(\\br)$ with a magnitude given by $a_\\beta$, at least to first order. We therefore call $M_\\beta(\\br)$ the density response vectors and $a_\\beta$ the response amplitudes of $\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$. The amplitudes depend on the normalization of $M_\\beta(\\br)$, and the standard squared ($L^2$) norm is not the most natural choice. Because $M_\\beta(\\br)$ corresponds to a change in density, we choose $\\intr |M_\\beta(\\br)| = 2$ so that $M_\\beta(\\br)$ can be thought of as moving an electron from one region (where $M_\\beta(\\br) < 0$) to another (where $M_\\beta(\\br) > 0$). Finally, because $a_\\beta$ are ordered by importance, $\\chi\\s(\\br,\\br')$ can be accurately and efficiently represented by truncating the sum once $a_\\beta$ drops below some tolerance.\n\n![ The most important density response functions $M_\\beta(x)$ from and their response amplitudes $a_\\beta$, for the weakly correlated system ($R=2$) in the top panel, and the strongly correlated system ($R=4$) in the bottom panel. The locations of the atoms are shown in solid grey circles. []{data-label=\"H4chis\"}](H4chis.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\nWe can easily find the density response vectors $M_\\beta(x)$ for the 1d H$_4$ systems we have already discussed at length, which allows us to diagnose our convergence difficulties. In , we plot the first few most important $M_\\beta(x)$. The first two ($\\beta=1,2$) look similar for the weakly correlated and the strongly correlated systems, though the response amplitudes $a_\\beta$ are quite different. If the potential changes in the direction $-M_1(x)$, it drives a strong density response in the direction $M_1(x)$ due to the large response amplitude $a_1 = 4.75$ at $R=2$ and $a_2=27.4$ at $R=4$. Luckily, we can assume reflection symmetry, so that in the iteration of the KS equations we do not have to worry about contributions from these $\\beta = 1$ terms. But now consider the symmetric $\\beta =2$ terms. If the KS potential changes in the direction $-M_2(x)$, the density will respond by changing in the direction $M_2(x)$, and the response amplitude is very strong for the $R=4$ system ($a_2 = 16.3$).\n\nThese (ground-state) response properties can be used to explain the problems that we have converging the strongly correlated H$_4$. If the initial KS potential puts most of the density around the central two atoms, to compensate the next trial KS potential will increase in the central region and decrease for the edge atoms. In response, the new density will place too many electrons on the edge atoms. We have already seen this in Figures\u00a0\\[H4b2-onestep\\] and \\[H4b4-onestep\\] with the NI starting densities. The reverse can also happen, where most of the input density is on the edge atoms, and the output density is more centralized. For the strongly correlated H$_4$, this \u201csloshing\" back and forth can be particularly strong because the response amplitude $a_2$ is quite large \u2013 this problem plagues densities even very close to the ground state, as seen in . As $R\\to \\infty$, $a_2$ diverges, making it more and more difficult to converge. To ameliorate these problems, some convergence schemes artificially increase the gap [@SH73] or populate otherwise unoccupied orbitals [@RS99b]. For other discussions on this matter, see and for implications for time-dependent DFT, .\n\nIn this section, we explore convergence within the simplest density functional approximation, the local density approximation (LDA) [@KS65], in order to understand some basic limits on convergence as well as its dependence on the KS gap, i.e.\u00a0the HOMO-LUMO gap. A simple expression for the LDA is available for our model 1d systems [@HFCV11; @WSBW12]. We expect the LDA to converge in a similar way to the exact functional, especially when the KS gap of the system is close for both self-consistent LDA and exact solutions [@NSb84]. We therefore use it to study more broadly the convergence behavior of the KS scheme applied to H$_2$ with variable bond length. As before, changing the bond length allows us to tune the strength of the correlation: at small bond lengths the system is weakly correlated and at large bond lengths strong static correlation arises [@WSBW12]. To aggravate convergence difficulties, we choose the initial density to be entirely centered on one atom [@WSBW13], and determine the $\\lambda$ values for which the KS scheme will converge, as well as how quickly. Furthermore, we enforce spin-symmetry, so while the restricted LDA energy is wrong in the $R\\to\\infty$ limit [@WSBW12], we expect to see convergence behavior similar to the exact functional [@WSBW13].\n\n![The number of iterations required to converge an LDA calculation to $\\eta < 10^{-8}$ , as a function of $\\lambda$, for various bond-lengths $R$ of the H$_2$ molecule, starting with an initial density of H$^-$ on the left atom. The asymptotic form for small $\\lambda$ can be well-approximated by $7/\\lambda$ for the data shown. []{data-label=\"LDAiterationsH2\"}](LDAiterationsH2.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\nIn , we plot the number of iterations required to converge an LDA calculation to $\\eta < 10^{-8}$ as a function of $\\lambda$, for a variety of bond lengths $R$. Each curve ends at $\\lambda_c(R)$, the largest $\\lambda$ for which the damped KS algorithm converges from this initial density. For a weakly correlated system (e.g.\u00a0$R=2$), a very large $\\lambda$ will produce convergence, and the optimal $\\lambda$ to converge in the fewest iterations is also fairly large (around $0.5$ for $R=2$). As the bond length is stretched, both the critical $\\lambda$, $\\lambda_c(R)$, as well as the optimal $\\lambda_O(R)$ decrease. In response, the minimum number of iterations $N_\\text{min}(R)$ to converge to a tolerance $\\eta< 10^{-8}$, increases. For example, $N_\\text{min}(R=2) = 12$ for $\\lambda_O(R=2) \\approx 0.5$. Considering the iterations it takes to converge as a function of $\\lambda$, we see that as $\\lambda$ decreases past the optimal $\\lambda$, it begins to take longer to converge the calculation. For $\\lambda \\rightarrow 0$, we approach an asymptote that appears valid for all values of $R$, given this initial starting point in the H$_2$ system: $N_\\text{asym}(\\lambda) = 7/\\lambda$. While this is by no means a universal asymptote for all systems, we recognize there is a fundamental limit to how quickly we can converge as $\\lambda \\to 0$.\n\nIn , we plot the convergence-critical $\\lambda$ value as a function of the bond length $R$, as well as the KS gap of both the LDA and exact systems. The LDA KS gap decays at about the same rate as the critical $\\lambda$, an observation that makes sense given that the KS gap has such an important role in convergence \u2013 the smaller the gap the more difficult it is to converge the calculation [@NSb84]. For bond lengths $R \\lesssim 4$, the LDA KS gap is quite close to the exact KS gap, so that we expect similar convergence behavior for the exact functional. However, as $R$ increases, the true KS gap decays more quickly than the LDA KS gap, so that the exact calculation has an even greater difficulty converging [@WSBW13]. It could be that some values of $\\lambda$ larger than $\\lambda_c$ allow for convergence if the density fortuitously lands close enough to the ground state in some iteration, but there is no systematic approach to find these $\\lambda$.\n\n![ Plotting $\\lambda_c$ for an LDA calculation, as a function of the bond length $R$ of a stretched hydrogen molecule, starting with the exact H$^-$ density on one atom as well as KS gaps for both the LDA and exact systems. []{data-label=\"blambda\"}](blambdaConvergenceLDAH2.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\nIn this section, we want to mathematically investigate the the space of densities that allow convergence and how quickly that occurs. That is, given some initial density and a fixed value of $\\lambda$, can we determine whether the KS scheme will converge within some given number of iterations? With $\\lambda$ too large, the KS scheme will be doomed to repeatedly overstep the ground-state density.\n\nTo quantify these ideas, define $\\eta^M[n](\\lambda)$ to be the value of $\\eta$ defined by Eq.\u00a0 after $M$ iterations of the KS equations with a fixed mixing of $\\lambda$, starting with the input density $n(\\br)$. Then define the density set: S\\_\\^M() { n() \\^[M]{}\\[n\\]() &lt; }. \\[eqn:sets\\] This set describes the densities $n(\\br)$ which converge to $\\eta < \\zeta$ in a finite number of iterations $(M)$, given a fixed-$\\lambda$ iteration of the KS equations. For example, $S^1_\\zeta \\equiv S^{1}_\\zeta(\\lambda=1)$ is the set of input densities $n_\\text{in}(\\br)$ that are within $\\eta < \\zeta$ of their output densities. (For one step, $\\lambda$ does not matter.) This set allows us to quantify the different levels of convergence hell. $S_\\zeta^1$ is the lowest level, and includes the ground-state density. $S_\\zeta^2(1)$ is the second level, and also includes the ground-state density. As $M$ becomes large (but remains finite), $S^{M}_\\zeta(1)$ reaches out to the $M$th level of hell: the set of densities which converge to within $\\eta < \\zeta$ within a finite number of full-KS-step iterations. All other densities belong to the $\\lambda = 1$ limbo density set, densities which are doomed to wander for (essentially) all eternity, never to converge. Similarly, there are less-strict convergence sets for $\\lambda < 1$, which describe a sort of density purgatory.\n\n![ The first few steps (numbered) in the KS scheme from some arbitrary starting density for H$_4$ with $R=4$ in the LDA approximation.

Unfortunately, current metrics are not guaranteed to correlate e.g.\u00a0a given input density $n(\\br)$ with a given convergence set $S^{M}_\\zeta(\\lambda)$.

Despite this nice relationship between the energy and the metric, a small $\\eta[n,n\\gs]$ does not necessarily mean we can take a large step in $\\lambda$ each iteration. Therefore we do not know how many steps it will take nor how small a $\\lambda$ is required based on the metric alone. More physically motivated metrics might remedy this issue, but we must leave this question open.\n\n\\[s:spin\\]\n\nIn this section we extend the exact functional to include spin dependence. We test the exact spin-dependent functional on the case of stretched H$_2$, starting our KS scheme with a broken-spin-symmetry solution, to determine whether or not the exact functional will find the correct spin-singlet ground state [@WSBW13].\n\nTreating the up-spin and down-spin electrons separately leads to much improved density functional approximations, as well as new challenges [@BH72; @VWN80]. If an unbalanced spin-state is provided as input to the KS scheme, approximate spin-density functionals may find a broken spin symmetry when the ground state should be a singlet. This is the case for many open-shell systems as bonds are stretched. The simplest such system, and a paradigm of DFT failures, is stretched H$_2$ [@CF49; @PSB95; @BAb96; @WSBW12]. In this case, it is clear that the exact XC spin-density functional does not break symmetry at the solution density, since the ground state of any two-electron system is a singlet (in the absence of external magnetic fields) [@PSB95]. This is true of both the interacting wavefunction and the KS Slater determinant, which is then just a doubly occupied molecular orbital.\n\nTo investigate these issues, we must first add spin-dependence to our functional, which is simple enough in principle. The added challenge is needing the ability to solve an interacting system with different potentials for spin-up and spin-down electrons, i.e.\u00a0electrons in a collinear magnetic field. Similar to , the HXC potential for spin-$\\sigma$ electrons is: v\\_[[HXC]{},]{}\\[n,n\\]() = v() - v\\_(), where the KS potential for the up electrons can be inverted independently of the down electrons by doubly occupying the up density [@GBc04] (and vice versa for down electrons), and $v_\\sigma[n\\up,n\\dn](\\br)$ is the spin-$\\sigma$ potential necessary to produce spin densities $n\\up(\\br)$ and $n\\dn(\\br)$ from an interacting Hamiltonian. We now investigate the use of the exact spin-dependent functional in a system where standard approximate functionals have multiple stationary points.\n\n![ Starting an exact KS calculation of stretched H$_2$ with a spin-polarized density still converges to the correct spin-singlet density. Through the iterations $i$, we plot (a) the polarization density $n_\\uparrow(x) - n_\\downarrow(x)$ and (b) the up KS potentials $v_{{\\sss S},\\uparrow}(x)$; the down potentials are the mirror images. []{data-label=\"H2b4\"}](H2b4-KSfromPol2.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\nTo test whether the exact functional can find the singlet solution for the stretched H$_2$ case, we start the exact KS calculation with a spin-polarized initial density, with the up electron on the left atom and the down electron on the right. With this input, the KS scheme using the local spin-density approximation converges to a broken symmetry solution [@WSBW12]. But as seen in , the exact functional finds the correct spin-singlet density without much trouble. (For this system, a large density mixing was used, namely $\\lambda = 50\\%$.) So long as the spin-densities are $v$-representable, the arguments of apply, and there is only one stationary point of the exact functional \u2013 the true ground-state density. This is true not only in 1d (as we have illustrated) but also in 3d.\n\n\\[s:nonvrep\\]\n\nAn important question that has haunted density functional theory since the proofs of Hohenberg and Kohn is that of $v$-representability [@DG90], i.e., for a given density $n(\\br)$, does there exist a one-body potential $v[n](\\br)$ for which it is the ground-state density? The constrained-search formulation of Levy [@L79] and of Lieb [@L83] bypasses this issue by defining the functional $F[n]$ as an infimum over a given class of wavefunctions. But our methodology of performing both interacting and non-interacting inversions essentially requires $v$-representability in both the interacting and non-interacting systems. (In fact, $v\\Hxc[n](\\br)$ is ill-defined if $n(\\br)$ is not $v$-representable [@L83; @Leeuwen; @L07].) In all our calculations to date, we have had no difficulty with $v$-representability, but in the present section, we use explore its meaning in more detail.\n\nTo be clear, we consider a density $v$-representable if it is [*ensemble*]{} $v$-representable. The generalization to mixed states (ensembles) is important for degenerate systems, where not every density comes from a pure-state wavefunction [@V80; @L82; @L83; @SGB97]; these practical details impact the calculations for and the values of the functionals $F[n]$ and $T\\s[n]$ [@L83; @UK01; @WSBW13], but they are not our primary concern. In addition, we focus on [*non-interacting*]{} $v$-representability; the challenges for interacting $v$-representability are similar, though the sets of interacting and non-interacting $v$-representable densities may in principle be different.\n\nDefinitive work by Chayes [*et al.*]{} [@CCR85] proves that on a grid, certain simple restrictions on the density determine the set of ensemble $v$-representable densities (in both interacting and non-interacting cases). This result explains why we were always able to find potentials for a given density on a grid in 1d, where there is no degeneracy except for spin. The work of Chayes [*et al.*]{} is reassuring, but not the final word on $v$-representability. On a grid, the kinetic energy operator (proportional to the Laplacian) is always bounded, whereas in the continuum it is not. In such cases, inverting a density for the KS potential as in may lead to unacceptable divergences, even for reasonable densities. Proofs of $v$-representability on a grid [@K83] therefore do not guarantee $v$-representability in the continuum. Complicating matters, properties which make for reasonable densities and potentials differ based on the dimensionality of the problem [@L83]. In this section, we therefore move away from our 1d grids and instead concentrate on real 3d systems in the continuum.\n\nIn principle, one can invert any density $\\n(\\br)$ with $N\\le 2$ for its KS potential $v\\s[\\n](\\br)$, as in . Such an inversion, however, may lead to a potential which is singular and which does not have a well-defined ground state. In order to avoid these problems, the potential should satisfy two key properties: (1) the KS Hamiltonian being bounded from below, and (2) the KS Hamiltonian being self adjoint [^2]. Properties which make the potential reasonable translate into properties that the density should satisfy. In three dimensions, our reasonable potentials are in the set $L^{3/2}+L^\\infty$, which describes potentials of atoms, molecules, and solids [^3]. The density space whose dual is $L^{3/2}+L^\\infty$ is $L^1 \\cap L^3$, and this space is a good start for the set of reasonable densities [@L83]. The $L^p$ space consists of functions whose $p$ norm is finite: L\\^p { f() \u00a0: \u00a0( |f()|\\^p )\\^[1/p]{} &lt; }, where the integral is taken in the Lebesgue sense [@RSvol1]. Thus our densities $\\n(\\br)$ should at least be in $L^1 \\cap L^3$, and our potentials in $L^{3/2} + L^\\infty$. (This set includes Coulomb potentials [@L83].) For a density whose inverted potential is [*not*]{} in $L^{3/2} + L^\\infty$ we say this density is non-$v$-representable.\n\nTo avoid unphysical densities, one should impose non-negativity and finite kinetic energy on the density, as articulated first by Lieb [@L83; @CCR85; @Leeuwen]: n() = N &lt; , \u00a0\u00a0n()0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0,T&lt;,\u00a0\u00a0\\[eqn:restrictN\\] where the von Weizs\u00e4cker kinetic energy is T, \\[eqn:vW\\] which is a lower-bound to the true kinetic energy $T[n]$ of the system. We refer to such Lieb-allowed densities (which satisfy ) as reasonable. Reasonable densities comprise a subset of $L^1 \\cap L^3$ (by Sobolev\u2019s inequality, ), so they have many useful properties. For example, for a reasonable density $n(\\br)$ in a reasonable potential $v(\\br)$ (i.e.\u00a0$v(\\br)$ is in $L^\\infty+L^{3/2}$), the potential energy $|V[n]|<\\infty$ [@L83]. A density $n(\\br)$ which fails to satisfy can safely be regarded as having an infinite $F[n]$ (or $T\\s[n]$ for non-interacting systems) [@L83], and thus will be avoided in any iteration of the Kohn\u2013Sham equations. Reasonable densities are not always $v$-representable, however: the inverted potential may not be in $L^\\infty + L^{3/2}$. But in these instances, there always exists a $v$-representable density $\\tilde n(\\br)$ that approximates the reasonable density $n(\\br)$ to any desired accuracy, and which allows the energies $F[\\tilde n]$ and $T\\s[\\tilde n]$ to be calculated [@L83; @Leeuwen]. In the remainder of this section, we will explore such an example within the realm of non-interacting $v$-representability, or $v\\s$-representability for short.\n\nWe consider a density which satisfies but which is not $v\\s$-representable. Inspired by the fourth example of Englisch and Englisch [@EE83], we choose: n() = A ( 1 + | r - 1 |\\^[3/4]{} )\\^2 e\\^[-2r]{}, \\[eqn:baddens\\] where we normalize to two electrons with $$\\begin{aligned}\nA&=&\\frac{256e^2}{\\pi\\left(596e^2+273\\, B+506\\, C\\right)}\\\\\n&\\approx&0.196521\\end{aligned}$$ with $$\\begin{aligned}\nB&=&\\sqrt{2\\pi}\\left(1+\\frac2{\\sqrt\\pi}\\int_0^{\\sqrt2}dt\\exp(t^2)\\right)\\\\\nC&=&\\frac3{2^{\\frac34}}\\left(\\Gamma\\left[\\frac34\\right]-\\int_0^2dt\\frac{\\exp(t)}{t^{\\frac14}}\\right).\\end{aligned}$$ This pathological density $n\\PEE(\\br)$ is not $v\\s$-representable due to the kink encountered at $r=1$, which would require an inadmissible infinite-discontinuity in the KS potential. To see this, we attempt to invert $n\\PEE(\\br)$ for its KS potential via : $$\\begin{aligned}\nv\\s[n\\PEE](\\br)&\\overset{?}{=}&\\frac12-\\frac1r+\\frac3{4\\left(1+|r-1|^{3/4}\\right)}\\left[-\\frac1{8|r-1|^{5/4}}\\right.\\nonumber\\\\\n&&\\left.+\\frac{\\delta(r-1)}{|r-1|^{1/4}}-\\frac{\\mathrm{sgn}(r-1)}{|r-1|^{1/4}}\\left(1-\\frac1r\\right)\\right],\\label{eq:gedankenvs}\\end{aligned}$$ where we have used $\\partial_x|x|=\\mathrm{sgn}(x)$, $\\partial_x^2|x|=2\\delta(x)$, and $\\mathrm{sgn}(x)$ is the sign function. The worst offender is the term proportional to $\\delta(r - 1) / |r - 1|^{1/4}$ which fails to be in the set $L^{3/2}+L^\\infty$. This makes $n\\PEE(\\br)$ non-$v\\s$-representable, since it may not even be the ground state of . Furthermore, calculating $T\\s[n]$ using the second-derivative formula of is ill-defined, due to this discontinuity. Nevertheless, $n\\PEE(\\br)$ is reasonable: its $T\\s\\vW[n\\PEE]$ is finite, as we will soon show. So, despite the density being reasonable, it is non-$v\\s$-representable. And while we are focusing on non-interacting electrons, it is clear that $n\\PEE(\\br)$ would be troublesome for interacting electrons as well.\n\nWe obtain $T\\s\\vW[n\\PEE]$ by first calculating its kinetic energy density. Due to spherical symmetry, we have: $$\\begin{aligned}\n&&t\\s\\vW[n\\PEE](r)=\\half \\left(\\frac d{dr}\\sqrt{n\\PEE(r)}\\right)^2\\\\\n&& \\ \\ = \\frac A 2 \\left(  -1-|r-1|^{3/4}\n+\\frac{3\\,\\mathrm{sgn}(r-1)}{4\\,|r-1|^{1/4}} \\right)^2e^{-2r}, \\ \\ \\end{aligned}$$ so that $$\\begin{aligned}\nT\\s\\vW[n\\PEE]&=&4\\pi\\int_0^\\infty\\!\\! dr\\,r^2\\, t\\s\\vW[n\\PEE](r)\\\\\n&=&\\frac{A\\pi}{128e^2}\\left(40e^2+93\\, B-13\\, C\\right)\\\\\n&\\approx&0.996519.\\end{aligned}$$ Calculating $T\\s[\\n\\PEE]$ via the second-derivative formula seems like a simple integration by parts: .\n\n[rcl]{} T&=& - \\^2\\\n&=& - n() v()\n\n} (N2),\\[TsN2\\] but due to the discontinuities in $v\\s[n\\PEE](\\br)$ , this integral is ill-defined for $n\\PEE(\\br)$.\n\n![ Inverting $n_\\gamma(r)$ of for the KS potential. As $\\gamma$ becomes smaller and smaller, the changes in potential near $r=1$ become larger and larger. []{data-label=\"EEdens\"}](EEvsdens.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\nWe now illustrate how to obtain a $v\\s$-representable density that is arbitrarily close to our reasonable density $n\\PEE(\\br)$. As a bonus, this procedure will also give a well-defined kinetic energy using the second-derivative formula. Consider a function $f_\\gamma(x)$ that smooths out the $|r-1|$ in , but which has a parameter which can be continuously adjusted so that $\\lim_{\\gamma \\to 0} f_\\gamma(r-1) = |r-1|$. We choose f\\_(x) = , setting n\\_() = A\\_(1 + f\\^[3/4]{}\\_(r-1) )\\^2 e\\^[-2 r]{}.\\[smootheddens\\] (Note that the density must be renormalized for each value of $\\gamma$.) For small $\\gamma$, the metric distance between $n\\PEE(\\br)$ and $n_\\gamma(\\br)$, $\\eta[n\\PEE,n_\\gamma]$ , is proportional to $\\gamma^{2.5}$; and $n_\\gamma(\\br)$ remains $v$-representable for all $\\gamma > 0$. In the iterations of the Kohn\u2013Sham scheme, tolerances between densities are already built into the method\u2014namely as in \u2014so we need no greater accuracy than that when finding a $v$-representable density close enough to the target density.\n\nAs already mentioned, even though $T\\s\\vW[n\\PEE]$ is finite, $T\\s[n\\PEE]$ via is ill-defined. But by using the smoothed density of , we can calculate $T\\s[n_\\gamma]$ and take the limit $\\gamma \\to 0$ (see ). The result is the the same as $T\\s\\vW[n\\PEE]$, and this must be so based on simple mathematical considerations [@CCR85]. Two conjectures might be made after consider the foregoing:\n\n![ Kinetic energy convergence of $n\\PEE(r)$ from Eq.\u00a0 by smoothing out the kink as in Eq.\u00a0. While the von Weizs\u00e4cker kinetic energy (vW) may be evaluated and integrated using only one derivative of the density, higher order derivatives of the density develop nonintegrable features. []{data-label=\"EETs\"}](TvsGamma.pdf){width=\"\\columnwidth\"}\n\nA density being $v$-representable requires some bounds on the Laplacian (or second derivative) of the density. On a grid, this is not an issue because the Laplacian is always bounded.\n\nFinite energies $F[n]$ and $T\\s[n]$ may be extracted from reasonable but non-$v$-representable densities. This can be done by suitably smoothing (or discretizing) the density and carefully taking limits, so as to remove divergent terms. For $N\\le 2$, $T\\s\\vW[n]$ should give the limit of $T\\s[n]$ properly, and for $N > 2$ one should be able to use T= \\_[j=1]{}\\^[N/2]{} |\\_j()|\\^2, to avoid any singular divergences from second derivatives.\n\nFor some concluding remarks, recall that the exact $E\\Hxc[n]$ is defined using both interacting and non-interacting systems. This means that we need $n(\\br)$ to be $v\\s$ and $v$-representable to calculate $E\\Hxc[n]$. While in principle $v\\s$-representable densities comprise a different set than $v$-representable densities, we can use the methods of this section to calculate $E\\Hxc[\\n]$ for any reasonable density. The prescription is to find a $v\\s$-representable density $\\tilde n\\s(\\br)$ and a $v$-representable density $\\tilde n(\\br)$ which are within some small tolerance of $n(\\br)$ and each other. With the inverted potentials $\\tilde v\\s(\\br)$ and $\\tilde v(\\br)$, self-consistent KS calculations are possible, given $v\\Hxc[\\n](\\br) = \\tilde v\\s(\\br) - \\tilde v(\\br)$ as in . We hope to further explore the connections between interacting and non-interacting $v$-representability in future work.\n\nAs a final note, all of our numerical inversions have used pure-state wavefunctions. This is justified for spin-singlet 1d systems and for this simple spin-singlet example in 3d. In systems with degeneracy, however, the ensemble formulation of DFT should be used, not only because the ensemble $E_v[n]$ is convex [@WSBW13], but also because the class of pure-state $v$-representable densities is smaller than the class of ensemble $v$-representable densities [@L83; @Leeuwen; @SGB97]. Outside of this section, we always worked on a grid, which means that $v$-representability difficulties were not an issue [@CCR85]. We found no cases where, as the grid spacing goes to zero, the potential diverged as in the example here.\n\nOur investigations into the exact functional demonstrate that it is possible to solve the Kohn\u2013Sham equations with the exact XC functional for simple model systems at great computational cost. Our calculations involve mapping the functional landscape for more than just the ground-state density, enabling us to address questions of convergence within the KS scheme. We tested many systems, and found that strongly correlated systems pose a greater challenge, not only from a theoretical standpoint in finding accurate approximations, but also practically within the KS scheme, where smaller steps must be taken (or more sophisticated methods used) to converge the calculation. In a word, the exact functional landscape for strongly correlated systems is more treacherous, but not impossible, for a simple KS algorithm to navigate.\n\nDespite the surmountable convergence difficulties for strongly correlated systems, the only stationary point of the KS equations is the ground-state density of the original problem, given $v$-representable densities as inputs. This is simply a reaffirmation of the HK theorem, that there is a one-to-one correspondence between ground state densities and potentials. This is the case even for stretched systems, where approximate functionals would prefer to break spin symmetry; the exact spin-density functional has only one stationary point, at the correct ground-state spin densities. All changes in density away from that point cause the energy to rise. Thus the lowest energy stationary point with an approximate functional has the same energy landscape as the true functional, and should be treated as the prediction for the energy with that approximation, regardless of how many symmetries have been broken. This reaffirms the conclusions of .\n\nThe density mixing algorithm used to prove convergence of the KS scheme is one of the simplest ways to explore the infinite-dimensional set of possible densities, and it provides insight into the gradient-descent nature of the KS scheme. While this algorithm is too primitive for modern practical implementations, its main purpose here is to provide a definite framework in which convergence questions can be studied.\n\nThere is another avenue of research, but which cannot be pursued in these model 1d systems: the effects of orbital degeneracy within exact KS theory, especially due to angular momentum. An ensemble of degenerate densities may easily not be pure-state $v$-representable [@L83; @Leeuwen], and the extent of the challenges for exact DFT warrants investigation. Unfortunately, this avenue cannot be explored for these 1d systems, in which there is no angular momentum. Exploring these concepts in 3d would shed light on how DFT handles strong correlation effects due to [*exact*]{} degeneracies, in contrast to the near degeneracies [@HG11] we have investigated (e.g.\u00a0in stretched H$_2$) for which exact DFT performs well in 1d [@WSBW13].\n\nFinally, we discuss the consequences of our example of a non $v$-representable density. The example we give is a reasonable density, meaning it is in the domain on with the Levy\u2013Lieb density functional is defined: it is normalized, non-negative, and has finite kinetic energy. Consistent with the proof of Chayes et.\u00a0al.\u00a0[@CCR85], on any finite grid, it has a well-behaved Kohn\u2013Sham potential. But as the grid-spacing is brought to zero, divergences appear in that potential, so that it is ill-defined in the continuum limit. So this is an example of a density that is $v$-representable on a lattice, but is not $v$-representable in the continuum. Similarly, one can remain in the continuum and introduce a small parameter ($\\gamma$) which rounds off the cusp in the density. For any finite value of $\\gamma$, no matter how small, the potential is finite and well-behaved. Thus our cuspy density is arbitrarily close to a $v$-representable density. These are the standard arguments given in the physics literature for why $v$-representability is not an issue in DFT.\n\nBut our example shows that there is still something to worry about. Either regularization procedure (finite grid spacing or finite $\\gamma$) fails in the limit, and anyone doing an inversion on such a density should check their KS potential converges to a well-defined limit. Our example density fails this test.\n\nThe important question is not whether some artificially created density is $v$-representable or not. The real question is, given the densities of atoms, molecules, and solids, i.e., densities generated by solving the Schr\u00f6dinger equation with Coulomb interactions, are there features like that of our example that produce ill-behaved KS potentials? This is all that matters, and practical experience suggests that such situations are rare, if they occur at all.\n\nThe authors would like to gratefully acknowledge the support of DOE grant DE-SC0008696 for funding this work. LW would also like to thank the Korean government for additional funding through the global research network grant (No.\u00a0NRF-2010-220-C00017).\n\n[^1]: The density shown in is given by , divided by a normalization factor such that it contains four electrons.\n\n[^2]: Self-adjointness can be proven for certain sets of potentials. For example, if the KS potential is in the $L^2 + L^\\infty$ space, the KS Hamiltonian is self-adjoint [@RSvol2].\n\n[^3]: One may argue that there are many reasonable 3d potentials not in $L^{3/2}+L^\\infty$, such as the 3D isotropic harmonic oscillator: $v(\\br) = \\half k r^2$. Such potentials do not describe real atoms, molecules, and solids, however, so we consider them unrealistic.

This cinematic retelling draws heavily from the star power of its lead actress, Shirley Temple, whose performance is a point of contention. While some viewers find her portrayal to be delightfully emotive, especially in emotionally charged scenes such as the moment she reunites with her father\u2014which could evoke a tear or two\u2014others feel her acting style lacks the naturalism needed for the role. Shirley's tendency to rely on her signature head tilts and coy looks has spurred some criticism, suggesting that her performance is perhaps too polished and lacks the gritty realism found in other cast members, such as Sybil Jason, who plays Becky and is praised for her more believable on-screen presence.\n\nFrom a narrative perspective, the film takes considerable liberties with its source material, Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved novel \"A Little Princess.\" This has been a significant sticking point for purists of the book. The movie diverges notably from the original text\u2014a fact that some audience members view with disdain. Key elements and character traits are altered, such as Miss Minchin not appearing as harsh and unpleasant as her literary counterpart, or Miss Amelia being portrayed as more competent and agreeable, which contrasts with the book's portrayal. The film introduces characters and plot elements that deviate considerably from the novel, including the existence of Miss Amelia's romantic interest, who plays no part in Burnett's story.\n\nMore critically, the film makes a significant change by sparing Sara's father, Captain Crewe, from his fate in the book. This alteration has drawn ire from loyal fans who feel that it dilutes the story's intended emotional impact and complexity. The original tale's depiction of Sara's struggle with loss and adversity is a fundamental theme that many believe is overshadowed by the film's more upbeat rendition. The movie further exacerbates these departures by incorporating elements such as a wartime backdrop, which deviates from the book's focus on personal struggles unrelated to such a global conflict.\n\nFor those approaching \"The Little Princess\" without the baggage of the book's version, the film can be an enchanting period piece, highlighting Shirley Temple's star charisma and the warm if fictionalized, settings. However, for ardent fans of the novel, the film's historical and narrative discrepancies might be much less palatable, leading them to regard this adaptation with disappointment. Ultimately, while the movie provides entertainment value, it also serves as a reminder of the creative risks inherent in adapting beloved literary works to the screen, leaving audiences divided between its cinematic charm and its fidelity to the original story.

Calculate the Total Mass of Fat (Earth's Mass):**\n\nThe mass of the Earth is approximately \\(5.97 \\times 10^{24}\\) kilograms.\n\n**2. Determine the Energy Content of This Fat:**\n\nFat contains about 9 kilocalories (kcal) per gram, or 9,000 kcal per kilogram.\n\nSo, the total energy content is:\n\\[\n\\text{Total Energy (kcal)} = \\text{Earth's Mass (kg)} \\times 9{,}000 \\, \\text{kcal/kg} = 5.97 \\times 10^{24} \\text{ kg} \\times 9{,}000 \\, \\text{kcal/kg}\n\\]\n\\[\n\\text{Total Energy} = 5.97 \\times 9{,}000 \\times 10^{24} \\, \\text{kcal} = 53{,}730 \\times 10^{24} \\, \\text{kcal} = 5.373 \\times 10^{28} \\, \\text{kcal}\n\\]\n\n**3. Calculate Humanity's Daily Caloric Needs:**\n\nAssuming a global population of 8 billion people ( \\(8 \\times 10^9\\) ) and an average daily caloric requirement of 2,000 kcal per person:\n\\[\n\\text{Daily Caloric Needs} = 8 \\times 10^9 \\, \\text{people} \\times 2{,}000 \\, \\text{kcal/person} = 1.6 \\times 10^{13} \\, \\text{kcal/day}\n\\]\n\n**4. Determine How Many Days the Fat Would Last:**\n\n\\[\n\\text{Number of Days} = \\frac{\\text{Total Energy}}{\\text{Daily Caloric Needs}} = \\frac{5.373 \\times 10^{28} \\, \\text{kcal}}{1.6 \\times 10^{13} \\, \\text{kcal/day}} = 3.358125 \\times 10^{15} \\, \\text{days}\n\\]\n\n**5. Convert Days to Years:**\n\nThere are approximately 365.25 days in a year:\n\\[\n\\text{Number of Years} = \\frac{\\text{Number of Days}}{365.25} = \\frac{3.358125 \\times 10^{15} \\, \\text{days}}{365.25 \\, \\text{days/year}} \\approx 9.19 \\times 10^{12} \\, \\text{years}\n\\]\n\n**Conclusion:**\n\nA fat Earth could sustain humanity's caloric needs for approximately \\(9.19 \\times 10^{12}\\) years, or about 9.19 trillion years. This is vastly longer than the current age of the universe (approximately 13.8 billion years), highlighting the enormous energy content of such a hypothetical scenario.\n\n**Answer:** About 9.19 trillion years\u2014the fat Earth could feed humanity\u2019s calories for approximately 9.19\u202f\u00d7\u202f10\u00b9\u00b2 years.","behavior":"degenerate_repetition","conversation_hash":"043ff999a2565c8e2db63d71ab50adf1","conversation_redacted":false,"conversation_toxic":false,"country":"Germany","empty_output":false,"evidence_codes":[],"label":"absent","label_present":false,"label_qualified":false,"label_source":"Final dense release","language":"English","model":"o1-preview-2024-09-12","n_chars":2163,"n_turns_in_conversation":1,"n_words":320,"source_row_offset":33442,"source_shard":"turns-00048.parquet","timestamp":"Sat, 09 Nov 2024 09:05:36 GMT","turn_id":"b5c000d75ba98770a76e0c4e","turn_index":0,"user_text":"if the entire world was made of fat how long could it sustain all of humanity assume just calories ifgnore other nutrients"},{"assistant_initiates":false,"asst_text":"I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding in your request.

(Rendering courtesy of Recompose)\n\nHumans have invented creative and meaningful ways to bid farewell to their bodies for centuries. Vikings sent off their dead on flaming, floating pyres, while Tibetan sky burials involved placing bodies ceremonially on a high peak, where animals could finish off the remains. More recent methods allow bones left over after cremation to be used for reef restoration, and ashes can be shot into space.\n\nCurrently, cremation and burial remain the only legal final destinations for corpses in Washington. But Washingtonians soon can also opt for \u201crecomposition\u201d \u2014 a process that essentially recycles the human body\u2019s nutrients and turns them into compost.\n\nWhen Gov. Jay Inslee signs it into law on May 1, Washingtonians starting in May 2020 will be the first in the nation to have the choice to get their bodies \u201crecomposed\u201d after death. Katrina Spade, the method\u2019s founder and key supporter, and her team at Recompose hope to open the first facility offering these services soon after. Spade says the company is currently looking at locations in SoDo.\n\nThe law has been a long time coming. Attempts to legalize alternatives to burial or cremation, such as alkaline hydrolysis (basically cremation via hot, chemical-filled water instead of fire inside a pressurized vessel), have been proposed and shot down in Washington Legislature for the past two years. But this year the bill also included recomposition (or \u201cnatural organic reduction,\u201d as phrased in the bill) \u2014 the term Spade uses to describe the process of turning human remains into soil.\n\n\u201cI think lawmakers were familiar with the bringing of a new death care option to Washington because they'd heard about it for the past two years around alkaline hydrolysis,\u201d she says. \u201cWith natural organic reduction, we spent a lot of time talking to legislators to really try to explain the process.\u201d\n\nSen. Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle, has been the primary sponsor on each of the three subsequent alternative decomposition bills since the first attempt in 2017. He says the first bill legalizing alkaline hydrolysis failed after pushback from the Catholic Church and the then-Republican-controlled Senate. The Senate's Labor and Commerce Committee Chair at the time, Michael Baumgartner, chose not to bring it to a vote. This year, Democratic control of the Senate helped get the issue in front of legislators. Pedersen says that with proper education on the process, recomposition became less foreign.\n\n\u201cI think when people hear \u2018composting,\u2019 their vision is that you\u2019re going to dump a bunch of bodies out in a pile in the backyard and throw some food scraps on top of it, cover it up and let it rot,\u201d he says. \u201cBut of course that\u2019s not the process.\u201d\n\nThe recomposition process instead goes like this: A body is put into a reusable vessel with organic materials like wood chips, hay and alfalfa. It\u2019s then heated by a stream of warm air and, over the course of 30 days, the chemical reactions within the vessel produce enough heat to break down the body into soil (bones included).\n\nThe People\u2019s Memorial Association, a funeral choice advocacy organization in Washington, has long backed alternatives to existing burial practices and has supported new forms of decomposition since the 2017 introduction of the alkaline hydrolysis proposal to the state Legislature. Nora Menkin, executive director of the People\u2019s Memorial Association, says that since the bill\u2019s passage, the organization already has received calls from individuals eager to learn more.\n\n\u201cThe more options that are available, the more often families can find services that are meaningful to them,\u201d Menkin says, \u201cespecially since the traditional options of cremation and burial aren\u2019t the most eco-friendly.\u201d\n\nKatrina Spade, founder of Recompose. (Photo by Craig Willse)\n\nSpade calls the language in this bill \u201cthe most progressive in the country.\u201d Washington surpasses other states by legalizing a composting process beyond alkaline hydrolysis, which is legal for human remains in 19 states, starting with Minnesota in 2003. It\u2019s been available longer for pets in Washington through pet funeral homes like Seattle-based Resting Waters, as animal remains aren\u2019t as heavily regulated as those of humans. Emily Albrecht, Recompose attorney and general legal counsel, says more intensive regulation has historically limited human death care options.\n\n\u201cThe laws around human disposition are kind of quirky in that they\u2019re governed by state and federal law,\u201d she says.\n\nThere\u2019s no specific law that makes alternative forms of decomposition illegal. The process of alkaline hydrolysis, for example, was patented in the 19th century and has long been used for animal corpses. UCLA\u2019s medical school used it to decompose cadavers prior to 2017, when California officially legalized the process for everyone else. But while the technology already existed, Albrecht says the many regulations surrounding human remains made statewide legalization necessary to allow for widespread use. Discrepancies in federal and state regulations meant people or organizations pursuing alternatives could risk being charged with a misdemeanor or a fine.\n\n\u201cIt was not legal, but [also] not not legal,\u201d Albrecht says. \u201cThis bill will clarify and expressly legalize it. It essentially makes it a new form of disposition.\u201d\n\nAlbrecht thinks this bill benefited from more buzz and loud advocacy in favor of it from groups like the People\u2019s Memorial Association, which might have led to a better-informed legislature. But there is also evidence Washingtonians have more accepting attitudes toward alternative forms of decomposition. Experts point to the state\u2019s long tradition of noncasket burials: While the average rate of cremation nationwide is about 50 percent, Washington boasts the highest rate of cremation in the country, at 77 percent, according to a 2017 report. Spade says that in her experience, the interest in cremation is often connected to a belief that it\u2019s a simpler, more environmentally friendly alternative to casket burials.\n\n\u201cWhat if instead they were able to choose something that was truly more environmentally friendly, [that] has a carbon savings of over a metric ton [over casket burials]?\u201d Spade says. \u201cAnd [it] lets us go back to the earth quite naturally, lets us be productive one final time with whatever nutrients we have left in our body after we die.\u201d\n\nJeff Jorgenson, the founder of Elemental Cremation & Burial, has been offering alkaline hydrolysis services to Washingtonians in addition to burials and cremation since September of last year. Since the process requires him to transport bodies out of state, he had considered holding off after he learned of the bill from Spade, but decided to go ahead anyway because of customer interest, he said. After partnering with an alkaline hydrolysis service provider in Oregon, Elemental began driving bodies to the site and back. Once they\u2019re able to perform the service in-state, Jorgenson says Elemental will stop their Oregon partnership, with hopes of getting more local interest by keeping services in state. He only wishes it\u2019d been available sooner.\n\n\u201c[Alkaline hydrolysis] is better than cremation, period. It is a superior service and technology \u2014 you can\u2019t even compare them,\u201d he says. \u201cWe kind of have egg on our face that, as a green progressive state, we\u2019re late to the game.\u201d\n\nMost important for Spade, the new choices don\u2019t negate the old \u2014 they\u2019re just more ways to deal with the body after death. She hopes to bring recomposition to more states in the future, as well as potentially licensing her process to funeral homes and other organizations.\n\n\u201cBy the time we came to the sessions, I think that most people were familiar enough with the options,\u201d Spade says. \u201cThey were making a decision based on what their constituents seemed to want, which was, really, what it boiled down to was just more choices around the end of life.\u201d"}],"shard":{"index":48,"name":"turns-00048.parquet","rows":45359}}
