Abstract
Using the Dawson-March transformation of two-level wave functions in terms of density amplitude and phase, a differential equation is constructed relating the single-particle kinetic energy to the fermion density. Employing then the differential form of the virial theorem derived by March and Young [Nucl. Phys. 12, 237 (1959)], a nonlinear electron-density–one-body potential relation emerges. Application to the Be-like atomic ions is briefly considered.
