A dimensionally scaled generalization of constrained search density functional theory allows access to some simple model problems. These might be valuable for testing and perhaps improving conventional density functionals. One specific model problem is solved: When extrapolated to infinite numbers of spatial dimensions, the energy density functional for spherically symmetric, two‐electron systems can be calculated to arbitrary accuracy. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
