Runge–Gross density-potential mapping conjecture

Let ψ0\psi_0 be the initial wave function of an NN-particle system, with initial density n0n_0 on a domain Ω\Omega. Assume that the external potential is time-analytic, that n0n_0 tends to zero at the boundary of Ω\Omega and satisfies n0>0n_0>0 almost everywhere, and that the potential and ψ0\psi_0 are sufficiently smooth in space. The Runge–Gross conjecture. There is a one-to-one mapping between densities and external potentials, up to addition of a function depending only on time. This is the foundational time-dependent density-potential mapping in TDDFT; the source presents it only as a conjectural formulation and does not establish the full stated result.
