Moreover, we restrict our study to the case of a two-state ensemble (\ie, $\nEns = 2$) where both the ground state ($I=0$ with weight $1 - \ew{}$) and the first doubly-excited state ($I=1$ with weight $\ew{}$) are considered.
Although one should have $0 \le \ew{} \le 1/2$ to ensure the GOK variational principle, we will sometimes ``violate'' this variational constraint.
Indeed, the limit $\ew{} = 1$ is of particular interest as it corresponds to a genuine saddle point of the KS equations, and match perfectly the results obtained with the maximum overlap method (MOM) developed by Gilbert, Gill and coworkers. \cite{Gilbert_2008,Barca_2018a,Barca_2018b}

\manu{I think we need to be a bit more clear about the $\ew{} = 1$ case, as
it stands a little bit beyond the theory discussed previously. What you
are looking at in the range $1/2\leq \ew{}\leq 1$ are, indeed, other
stationary points (than the minimizing ones) of the density matrix
operator functional in Eq.~(\ref{eq:min_KS_DM}). I would say that we
look at these solutions for analysis purposes. I personally never looked
(formally) at these solutions and their physical meaning. One should clearly
mention that applying GOK-DFT in this range of weights would simply
consists in switching ground and first excited states if a true
minimization of the ensemble energy were performed. From this point of
view we do not violate anything.
