Communication: Testing and using the Lewin-Lieb bounds in density functional theory

Lewin and Lieb have recently proven several new bounds on the exchange-correlation energy that complement the Lieb-Oxford bound. We test these bounds for atoms, for slowly-varying gases, and for Hooke’s atom, finding them usually less strict than the Lieb-Oxford bound. However, we also show that, if a generalized gradient approximation is to guarantee satisfaction of the new bounds for all densities, new restrictions on the exchange-correlation enhancement factor are implied.
