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:

Although this choice is far from being unique, we consider here the singlet ground state and the first singlet doubly-excited state of a two-electron FUEG which consists of two electrons confined to the surface of a 3-sphere (also known as a glome).\cite{Loos_2009a,Loos_2009c,Loos_2010e}

To build our weight-dependent xc functional, we propose to consider the singlet ground state and the first singlet doubly-excited state of a two-electron FUEG which consists of two electrons confined to the surface of a 3-sphere (also known as a glome).\cite{Loos_2009a,Loos_2009c,Loos_2010e}

Indeed, the orbitals for an electron on a 3-sphere of unit radius are the normalized hyperspherical harmonics $Y_{\ell\mu}$, where $\ell$ is the principal quantum number and $\mu$ is a composite index of the remaining two quantum numbers. \cite{AveryBook, Avery_1993}

As mentioned above, we confine our attention to paramagnetic (or unpolarized) systems, and in particular to the simple two-electron system in which the orbital with $\ell = 0$ is doubly-occupied by one spin-up and one spin-down electron, thus yielding an electron density that is uniform on the 3-sphere.

Quite remarkably, the weight dependence of the exchange functional can be transferred to the $\Cx{}$ coefficient, which is expected from a theoretical point of view, yet a nice property from a more practical aspect.
