Abstract

A novel route to defining the energy density of the noninteracting kinetic energy density functional is presented. In particular, a method for studying and understanding the success and limitations of suggested approximations for Ts[n] is provided. The method is illustrated by comparing it to the traditional approach on both formal and physical grounds.
