contents Terrestrial double-$Λ$ hypernuclear data and astronomical observations of neutron stars provide complementary constraints on the $ΛΛ$ interaction. In this work, we investigate the $ΛΛ$ interaction within a Skyrme energy density functional framework based on the KIDS (Korea-IBS-Daegu-SKKU) models. We employ a Skyrme-type $ΛΛ$ interaction that includes the standard $s$- and $p$-wave terms, as well as a density-dependent term that effectively represents an $NΛΛ$ three-body force. The $s$-wave terms are constrained using data on double-$Λ$ hypernuclei supplemented by pseudodata obtained from core + $2Λ$ three-body model calculations including heavier hypernuclei. We show that the data on heavier systems are essential to simultaneously constrain the two $s$-wave parameters. We further explore the impact of the $p$-wave and $NΛΛ$ components on the neutron-star properties and find that appropriate repulsive contributions of these terms yield consistency with current neutron-star mass-radius observations. These results indicate that the present framework provides phenomenologically acceptable equations of state for dense $(N,Λ)$ matter over a wide range of densities and highlight the importance of future experimental data on heavier double-$Λ$ hypernuclei.
