24. It is interesting to note that in 6, Liu and Parr quote some recent work of N. H. March, Phys. Rev. A 56, 1025 (1997), which they claim shows that the Thomas-Fermi functional derivative may be considered homogeneous of order 0. Of course this is suspicious, and a closer examination of March’s paper reveals that the class of densities considered by March cannot be dense enough to admit the operation of density scaling. In other words, March’s work shows that the Thomas-Fermi functional derivative, which is homogeneous of order 2/3 may be equated with an expression that appears homogeneous of order 0 for certain densities, but this equality is not preserved under the operation of density scaling.
