Density functionals without meshes and grids

Abstract We suggest an approach to density functional calculations based entirely on matrix representations of operators known from conventional electronic structure methods. In the basis set limit our results are identical to those obtained with a grid-based quadrature, but the noise arising from the numerical procedure is completely avoided.
