Abstract
We show that the physical quantities of an A-fermion system expressed by means of integrals of powers of the single-particle density ρ(r) are bounded by any kth moment around the origin 〈〉 of ρ and A in a simple manner. As applications, the kinetic and semiclassical exchange energies of a neutral atom (A=Z) turn out to be bounded from below by 0.2184〈 and from above by 0.3046〈r〉, respectively. Comparison of these bounds with the microscopic values of the corresponding quantities is made. Similar bounds for the same quantities in nuclei are also given and analyzed.
