The minimizing density $n_0$ in Eq.~\eqref{eq:levy} is the exact ground-state density. Nevertheless, in practical calculations, the accessible densities are necessarily restricted to the set of densities ``representable in a basis set $\Bas$'', \ie, densities coming from wave functions expandable in the $N$-electron Hilbert space generated by the one-electron basis set $\Bas$. In the following, \alert{we always consider only such representable-in-$\Bas$ densities}. With this restriction, Eq.~\eqref{eq:levy} then gives an upper bound $E_0^\Bas$ of the exact ground-state energy. Since the density has a faster convergence with the size of the basis set than the wave function, this restriction is a rather weak one and we can consider that $E_0^\Bas$ is an acceptable approximation to the exact ground-state energy, \ie, $E_0^\Bas \approx E_0$.

In the present context, it is important to notice that the wave functions $\Psi$ defined in Eq.~\eqref{eq:levy_func} are not restricted to a finite basis set, \ie, they should be expanded in a complete basis set. In Ref.~\onlinecite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}, it was then proposed to decompose $F[\den]$ as

where $\efci$ and $n_\text{FCI}^\Bas$ are the ground-state FCI energy and density, respectively. As it was originally shown in Ref.~\onlinecite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18} and further emphasized in Refs.~\onlinecite{LooPraSceTouGin-JCPL-19,GinSceTouLoo-JCP-19}, the main role of $\efuncbasisFCI$ is to correct for the basis-set incompleteness error, a large part of which originating from the lack of electron-electron cusp in the wave function expanded in an incomplete basis set. The whole purpose of this work is to determine approximations for $\efuncbasisFCI$ which are suitable for treating strong correlation. Two key requirements for this purpose are i) spin-multiplet degeneracy, and ii) size consistency.
