Abstract
Starting from known identities in density-functional theory, it is shown that for finite electronic systems the density functionals and can be expanded in terms of powers of the classical moments of the electron density, with the expansion coefficients of the two series related in a simple way. For neutral atoms and coupling constant two-term universal linear expansions are demonstrated to be reasonably accurate: and where Z is the atomic number. The factors and Z in these formulas are rationalized.
