We present a self-interaction-free time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) for the treatment of double-ionization processes of many-electron systems. The method is based on the extension of the Krieger-Li-Iafrate (KLI) treatment of the optimized effective potential (OEP) theory and the incorporation of an explicit self-interaction correction (SIC) term. In the framework of the time-dependent density functional theory, we have performed three-dimensional (3D) calculations of double ionization of He and Be atoms by intense near-infrared laser fields. We make use of the exchange-correlation potential with the integer discontinuity which improves the description of the double-ionization process. We found that a proper description of the double ionization requires the TDDFT exchange-correlation potential with the discontinuity with respect to the variation of the total particle number (TPN). The results for the intensity-dependent rates of double ionization of He and Be atoms are presented.
