\b[<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>.<Self-Consistent Equations Including Exchange and Correlation Effects by Walter Kohn and Lu Jeu Sham>[1965, pp. A1133–A1135, ground-state effective one-electron formulation]{ref}
