In Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory (RDMFT) the natural occupation numbers are minimized under the ensemble N-representability conditions, i.e they are restricted to be between zero and one and sum to the number of electrons. Recently, the pure state N-representability problem for the one-body reduced density matrix has been solved [M. Altunbulak and A. Klyachko, Commun. Math. Phys. 282, 287 (2008)]. In this talk we discuss to which extend these pure state conditions are satisfied without being enforced in 3 electron systems using some standard RDMFT functionals. Our aim is to impose those pure state conditions that are not automatically satisfied and check whether this improves RDMFT results.
