As mentioned above, eDFT for excited states is based on the GOK variational principle \cite{Gross_1988a} which states that a variational principle holds for the ensemble energy
\begin{equation}
\E{}{\bw} = \sum_{I=0}^{\Nens-1} \ew{I} \E{}{(I)}
\E{}{\bw} = \sum_{I=0}^{\nEns-1} \ew{I} \E{}{(I)}
\end{equation}
built from an ensemble of $\Nens$ electronic states with individual energies $\E{}{(0)} \le \ldots \le \E{}{(\Nens-1)}$, and (normalised) monotonically decreasing weights $\bw = (\ew{0},\ldots,\ew{M-1})$, \ie, $\sum_{I=0}^{\Nens-1} \ew{I} = 1$, and $\ew{0} \ge \ldots \ge \ew{\Nens-1}$.

Multiplet degeneracies can be easily handled by assigning the same weight to the degenerate states.
One of the key feature of GOK-DFT in the present context is that one can easily extract individual excitation energies from the ensemble energy via differentiation with respect to individual weights:

\label{sec:func}
The present work deals with the explicit construction of the (reduced) LDA xc functional $\e{\xc}{\bw}[\n{}{}]$ defined in Eq.~\eqref{eq:exc_def}.
Here, we restrict our study to the case of a two-state ensemble (\ie, $\Nens = 2$) where both the ground state ($I=0$) and the first doubly-excited state ($I=1$) are considered.
Here, we restrict our study to the case of a two-state ensemble (\ie, $\nEns = 2$) where both the ground state ($I=0$) and the first doubly-excited state ($I=1$) are considered.
Thus, we have $0 \le \ew{} \le 1/2$.
The generalisation to a larger number of states (in particular the inclusion of the first singly-excited state) is trivial and left for future work.
