Multiplet degeneracies can be easily handled by assigning the same weight to the degenerate states. 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: 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:

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 $0 \le \ew{} \le 1/2$. 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. 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.
