Popis: In a recent article Polanco-Ramirez et al. proposed new definitions of local chemical potential and local hardness starting from the first derivative of the energy with respect to the number of electrons and a smart use of the chain rule. In this comment we show that this derivation appears naturally in the Taylor expansion of the energy, showing that the construction of Polanco-Ramirez et al. is not artificially built.
