Using the constrained search and Legendre-transform formalisms, one can derive generalized density-functional theories, in which the fundamental variable is either the electron pair density or the second-order reduced density matrix. In both approaches, the N-representability problem is solved by the functional, and the variational principle is with respect to all pair densities (density matrices) that are nonnegative and appropriately normalized. The Legendre-transform, formulation provides a lower bound on the constrained-search functional. Noting that experience in density-functional and density-matrix theories suggests that it is easier to approximate functionals than it is to approximate the set of N-representable densities sheds some light on the significance of this work.
