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

One of the key feature of eDFT in the present context is that one can easily extract individual excitation energies from the ensemble energy via differentiation with respect to individual weights:

Equation \eqref{eq:dEdw} is our working equation for computing excitation energies from a practical point of view.
Note that, although we have dropped the weight-dependency in the individual densities $\n{}{(I)}(\br{})$ defined in Eq.~\eqref{eq:nI}, these do not match the \textit{exact} individual-state densities as the non-interacting KS ensemble is expected to reproduce the true interacting ensemble density $\n{}{\bw}(\br{})$ defined in Eq.~\eqref{eq:nw}, and not each individual density.
