The resulting KS-eLDA ensemble energy obtained via Eq.~\eqref{eq:min_with_HF_ener_fun}
reads
\beq\label{eq:Ew-GIC-eLDA}

%Manu, would it be useful to add this equation and the corresponding text?
%I think it is useful for the discussion later on when we talk about the different contributions to the excitation energies.

Combining Eq.~\eqref{eq:exact_ind_ener_rdm} with Eq.~\eqref{eq:eLDA_corr_fun} leads to our final energy level expression within KS-eLDA:

First, we discuss the linearity of the \manu{computed} (approximate)
ensemble \manu{energies}.
To do so, we consider 5-boxium with box lengths of $L = \pi/8$, $L = \pi$, and $L = 8\pi$, which correspond (qualitatively at least) to the weak, intermediate, and strong correlation regimes, respectively.
The deviation from linearity of the three-state ensemble energy $\E{}{(\ew{1},\ew{2})}$ (\ie, the deviation from the hypothetical linear ensemble energy obtained by linear interpolation) is represented
in Fig.~\ref{fig:EvsW} as a function of both $\ew{1}$ and $\ew{2}$ while

variational principle [\ie, $0 \le \ew{2} \le 1/3$ and $\ew{2} \le \ew{1} \le (1-\ew{2})/2$].
To illustrate the magnitude of the ghost interaction error (GIE), we report the KS-eLDA ensemble energy with and without ghost interaction correction (GIC) as explained above \titou{[see Eqs.~\eqref{eq:Ew-GIC-eLDA} and \eqref{eq:Ew-eLDA}]}.
