title: Relations between coordinate and potential scaling in the high-density limit.
abstract: Exact relations are derived between scaling to the high-density limit of density functional theory and taking Z to infinity for nondegenerate atoms. Gorling-Levy perturbation results are deduced for hydrogenic densities. The kinetic contribution to the correlation energy is also studied, and estimates given for its value for neutral atoms. Popular approximate functionals are tested against these benchmarks.
