2nd theorem

[Eduardo]

Although the second Hohenberg-Kohn theorem builds on the first, it introduces the variational principle, which is essential for the practical application of density functional theory (DFT). Therefore, both theorems are interdependent but independent in their importance and contribution. The first theorem establishes the theoretical foundation, while the second provides the practical method for finding the ground-state electron density by minimizing the energy.
