How is the tight binding model derived from the Kohn-Sham DFT energy?
I am following along a publication titled "Density-functional tight-binding for beginners" (P. Koskinen, V. Mäkinen, Computational Materials Science 2009, 47, 237–253) and I get stomped by a ...

Orbital-free DFT and Density Functional Tight-Binding: Comparison [closed]
There are many flavors of DFT that are alternative to, or go beyond the Kohn-Sham formulation (KS-DFT).
Some of these are based on approximations that sacrifice accuracy when compared to KS-DFT, but ...
