Exchange Functional
The exchange-energy density of a HEG is known analytically. The LDA for exchange employs this expression under the approximation that the exchange-energy in a system where the density in not homogeneous, is obtained by applying the HEG results pointwise, yielding the expression

“Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory.”
—Emily Post (1873–1960)
