Based on the theory of point transformations, a possible exact relationship between the atomic electron densities in momentum and position spaces is studied through the inverse mapping from the electron density to the N‐electron wave function with an appropriate generator or reference N‐electron wave function. The results are used to construct the ground‐state energy density functional of atoms in momentum space.
