Density functional approximations do not provide size-consistent methods, contrary to what is commonly assumed in the literature. The violation is related to degeneracy. Two approaches are discussed to alleviate the problem: symmetry breaking and range separation. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
