The Schr\"odinger equation contains the kinetic energy of the ions and electrons as well as the electron-ion, ion-ion and electron-electron interaction. This cannot be solved exactly and there are several layers of approximations to reduce the number of parameters. -In density functional theory (DFT) the problem is recasted to the charge density $n(\vec{r})$ instead of using the description by a wave function. +The key point in density functional theory (DFT) is to recast the problem to a description using the charge density $n(\vec{r})$ that depends on only three spatial coordinates instead of the many-body wave function.
