We introduce a formal definition of a non local functional and show that the non local exchange-correlation potential functional, derived within Density-Functional Theory, is non local in the space of electronic densities. A previously developed non local exchange-correlation potential term, is introduced to approach the exact density-functional potential. With this approach, the electronic structure of the graphene surface and the tyrosine amino acid are calculated .
