Kohn-Sham equations in density functional theory use an auxiliary one-electron Hamiltonian whose effective potential depends on the density. Its orbitals construct a density representing an interacting electronic system; this is distinct from explicitly diagonalizing a large many-electron determinant Hamiltonian.[ref]
