A generalization of the Kohn--Sham approach is derived where the correlation-energy functional depends on the one-particle density matrix of noninteracting states and on the external potential from the interacting target-state. The one-particle equations contain the exact exchange potential, a nonlocal correlation potential, and an additional operator involving the correlation density. The electronic-energy functional has multiple solutions: Any one-particle density matrix delivering the target-state density yields a solution. In order to obtain the Kohn--Sham solution, the nonlocal operators are converted into local ones using an approach developed by Sala and Gorling. Since the exact exchange-potential is used, and the N--representability problem does not arise--in contrast to the Kohn--Sham approach--errors from Coulomb self-interactions do not occur, nor the need to introduce functionals defined by a constraint search. Furthermore, the approach does not use the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem. A density functional formalism is also derived that assumes that the one-particle density matrices of interest have v-representable (non-interacting) densities and that these density matrices can be written as an explicit functional of the electron density. For simplicity, we only consider noninteracting closed-shell states and target states that are nondegenerate, singlet ground-states.
