One-body reduced density-matrix functional theory for the canonical ensemble

We establish one-body reduced density-matrix functional theory for the canonical ensemble in a finite basis set at an elevated temperature. Including temperature guarantees differentiability of the universal functional by occupying all states and additionally not fully occupying the states in a fermionic system. We use convexity of the universal functional and invertibility of the potential-to-1RDM map to show that the subgradient contains only one element which is equivalent to differentiability. This allows us to show that all 1RDMs with a purely fractional occupation number spectrum ($0<n_i<1{\mathrm{\forall }}_i$) are uniquely $v$-representable up to a constant.
