Such the expression can be effectively used in developing the approximate KE functional. Indeed, on the basis of this expression, we present an approximate form of the KE functional by means of the perturbation theory. Furthermore, as the first step of an alternative way of obtaining the approximate KE functional, we derive several relations and bounds for the KE functional by investigating how the KE functional changes with the nonuniform scaling, rotation, and translation of electron coordinates. Such relations and bounds can be utilized as restrictive conditions on the approximate form. Thus, the coupling-constant expression, relations and bounds obtained here provide useful tools for devising various types of the approximate KE functional that is indispensable for advancing the pair-density-functional theory., Article, PHYSICAL REVIEW A. 85(6):062508 (2012)}, title = {Coupling-constant expression and exact relations for the kinetic-energy functional in pair-density-functional theory}, volume = {85}, year = {2012} }
