Summary A functional for the calculation of the energy of a manyelectron system is applied to a simple model of a graphite crystal. The stationarity of the functional leads to an Euler equation which can be reduced analytically to an integral, which has been calculated numerically. The interlayer equilibrium distance and the compressiblity of graphite are found in good agreement with empirical values.
