KS scheme

Thus, the information about T[p] - Ts[p] must be somehow folded into the corresponding hole functions. To do this, imagine that we connect the two systems central for the KS scheme (i. e. the non-interacting reference with no 1/r- electron-electron interaction and the real one where this interaction is operative with full strength) by gradually increasing... 

Kinetic studies of stepwise hydration reactions of aikenes. This work has shown that carbocations with labile jff-CH bond(s) that are stabilized by an a-amino group,35-37 or by two a-thiol groups38 0 undergo preferential deprotonation to form the products of an elimination reaction (kp > ks, Scheme 1). 

The difference between A obsd and caic might be due to a specific salt effect on the rate constant for solvolysis. However, this is unlikely because perchlorate ion acts to stabilize carbocations relative to neutral substrates.At high concentrations of sodium bromide, the rate-limiting step for solvolysis of 1-Br is the capture of 1 by solvent (ks Scheme 5A). Substitution of Br for CIO4 should destabilize the carbocation-like transition state for this step relative to the starting neutral substrate, and this would lead to a negative, rather than positive deviation of obsd for equations (3A) and (3B). 

The Kohn-Sham (KS) scheme" introduces a single-determinant wavefimction in terms of the KS orbitals and partitions the HKUEDF into three main pieces ... 

The theory of enzymatic catalysis, as first enunciated by Pauling, states that enzymes must be complementary to the transition state rather than to the ground-state form of the substrate. According to this theory, the ratio kcat/kuncat is equal to the ratio of affinity constants of the enzyme for the substrate and the transition state, Ks/Ks (Scheme 5.1). 

The basic variational principle (3.4) is applied directly in relativistic (extended) Thomas-Fermi models [12, 21,46] in which an approximate density functional representation for the complete [/] is utilised. The mainstay of applications is, however, the KS-scheme. In order to set up this scheme one first introduces auxiliary single-particle four spinors i (x), in terms of which the exact interac-... 

Eqs. (101)-(103) constitute the KS scheme of time-dependent spin-density functional theory. With the xc action functional [ t. i] defined in analogy to Eq. (43), the spin-dependent xc potentials can be represented as functional derivatives ... 

The development that led to the emergence of DFT to its current status as the most widely used electronic structure computational method is that due to KS [274]. The ansatz used by KS replaces the interacting problem with an auxiliary independent particle one, with all the many-body effects included in an exchange-correlation functional. In practice, the KS scheme introduces an equivalent orbital picture (rigorously established), with the resulting KS equations solved self-consistently.
