Several methods suggest the gradient corrections beyond the Thomas-Fermi (TF) kinetic energy functional to vanish for two-dimensional systems at zero temperature. However, the TF functional does not coincide with the exact functional, implying the existence of corrections. We present a systematic derivation of such first order gradient corrections by means of the Wigner function and test the result employing the exactly known particle density of spin-1/2-fermions in a two-dimensional harmonic trap.
