A density functional theory for many-body lattice models is considered in which the single-particle density matrix is the basic variable. Eigenvalue equations are derived for solving Levy's constrained search of the interaction energy functional W, which is expressed as the sum of Hartree-Fock energy and the correlation energy E_C. Exact results are obtained for E_C of the Hubbard model on various periodic lattices. The functional dependence of E_C is analyzed by varying the number of sites, band filling and lattice structure. The infinite one-dimensional chain and one-, two-, or three-dimensional finite clusters with periodic boundary conditions are considered. The properties of E_C are discussed in the limits of weak and strong electronic correlations, as well as in the crossover region. Using an appropriate scaling we observe a pseudo-universal behavior which suggests that the correlation energy of extended systems could be obtained quite accurately from finite cluster calculations. Finally, the behavior of E_C for repulsive (U>0) and attractive (U<0) interactions are contrasted.
