7. In a more general form, TDFT deals with many-body systems evolving under the influence of time-dependent potentials (formula presented) of arbitrary strength (see Refs. 1, 3, 4 and 6).
8. Strictly speaking, the Runge-Gross proof does not apply to adiabatically switched-on periodic potentials such as the ones employed in linear response theory. There are known examples9 of two different periodic potentials producing the same linear response in a finite system. However, such pathologies are expected to disappear10 in extended systems, such as the ones considered in this paper.

12. We take the point of view that the static xc potential can be adequately treated in one of the existing approximations, e.g., the static LDA. The Kohn-Sham response function can then be constructed in the standard way from the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the static Kohn-Sham problem.

22. It is often stated, not quite accurately, that the Gross-Kohn approximation reduces to the ALDA in the (formula presented) limit. In fact, it turns out that (formula presented), as pointed out in Ref. 37. The Gross-Kohn interpolation formula for (formula presented) does, however, reduce to the ALDA for (formula presented).

31. The factor (formula presented) that usually multiplies the interaction (formula presented) has been absorbed in the vector potential.
