Although the reviewers listed above have provided many constructive comments and suggestions, they were not asked to endorse the conclusions or recommendations nor did they see the final draft of the report before its release. The review of this report was overseen by Pierre C. Hohenberg, Yale University, and R. Stephen Berry, University of Chicago. Appointed by the National Research Council, they were responsible for making certain that an independent examination of this report was carried out in accordance with institutional procedures and that all review comments were carefully considered. Responsibility for the final content of this report rests entirely with the authoring committee and the institution. 

In 1964, Pierre Hohenberg and Walter Kohn proved that the exact ground state energy of a correlated electron system is a functional of the density p(r) and that this functional has its variational minimum when evaluated for the exact ground state density. This means that a variational equation would lead to a knowledge of the exact ground state energy and density (and hence... 

In 1964, Pierre Hohenberg and Walter Kohn published a theory of an inhomogeneous interacting electron gas. These authors put forward an idea that the electronic density plays a central role in properties of this gas. The authors in fact are the founders of the density functional theory (DFT). 

The lack of a theoretical framework certainly did not promote the development of density functionals. This situation changed radically in 1964 with the paper of Pierre Hohenberg and Walter Kohn. Hohenberg and Kohn established a one-to-one correspondence between electron densities of nondegenerate ground states and external local potentials, v r), which differ by more than a constant. All physical properties obtainable with v can therefore be expressed in terms of the electron density. It was thus established that, for example, the Thomas-Fermi approximation to the kinetic energy can in principle be refined to yield arbitrary precision. Hohenberg and Kohn defined the density functional F[p]... 

Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a continually developing quantum chemical model initiated on two theorems of Pierre Hohenberg and Walter Kohn published in P. Hohenberg and W. Kohn, Inhomogeneous electron gas, Phys. Rev. 136 (1964) B864—B871.
