We survey approaches to non-relativistic density functional theory (DFT) for nuclei using progress toward ab initio DFT for Coulomb systems as a guide Ab taw DFT starts with a microscopic Hamiltonian and is naturally formulated using orbital-based functionals which generalize the conventional local density plus gradients form The orbitals satisfy single-particle equations with multiplicative (local) potentials The DFT functionals can be developed starting from internucleon forces using wavefunction-based methods or by Legendre transform via effective actions We describe known and unresolved issues for applying these formulations to the nuclear many-body problem and discuss how ab initio approaches can help improve empirical energy density functionals (c) 2009 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
