Exact pieces of information on the adiabatic connection integrand, Wλ[ρ], which allows evaluation of the exchange-correlation energy of Kohn–Sham density functional theory, can be extracted from the leading terms in the strong coupling limit (λ → ∞, where λ is the strength of the electron–electron interaction). In this work, we first compare the theoretical prediction for the two leading terms in the strong coupling limit with data obtained via numerical implementation of the exact Levy…

Large coupling-strength expansion of the Møller-Plesset adiabatic connection: From paradigmatic cases to variational expressions for the leading terms.

The asymptotic H atom solution for the spin-unpolarized case is shown to be variationally optimal for the many-electron spin-restricted closed-shell case, providing expressions for the large coupling-strength density functionals up to the third leading order.

While in principle exact, Kohn–Sham density functional theory—the workhorse of computational chemistry—must rely on approximations for the exchange–correlation functional. Despite staggering…

Kinetic-Energy Density-Functional Theory on a Lattice

It is shown that, by including more observables explicitly in a density-functional approach, already simple approximation strategies lead to very accurate results and that simple orbital-dependent functionals that outperform the corresponding exact-exchange Kohn–Sham (KS) approximation of standard density- functional theory are constructed.

Communication: Strong-interaction limit of an adiabatic connection in Hartree-Fock theory.

We show that the leading term in the strong-interaction limit of the adiabatic connection that has as weak-interaction expansion the Møller-Plesset perturbation theory can be fully determined from a…

Investigation of the Exchange-Correlation Potentials of Functionals Based on the Adiabatic Connection Interpolation.

It is found that all the ACMs yield correlation potentials that exhibit a correct behavior, quite resembling scaled second-order Görling-Levy (GL2) potentials and including most of the physically meaningful features of the accurate reference data.

Electronic Zero-Point Oscillations in the Strong-Interaction Limit of Density Functional Theory.

The systematic treatment of the λ→∞ limit is extended to the next leading term, describing zero-point oscillations of strictly correlated electrons, with numerical examples for small spherical atoms and a revised interpolation formula for the exchange-correlation energy satisfying more exact constraints.

Pair Densities in Density Functional Theory

The findings lend theoretical support to the celebrated semi-empirical idea [Becke93] to mix in a fractional amount of exchange, albeit not to assuming the mixing to be additive and taking the fraction to be a system independent constant.

One-dimensional model chemical systems are studied using the strictly-correlated electron (SCE) functional, which, by construction, becomes asymptotically exact in the limit of infinite coupling strength.

Construction of exchange-correlation functionals through interpolation between the non-interacting and the strong-correlation limit.

Using the non-interacting and strong-correlated extremes of the electron-electron interaction strength, various interpolation schemes are presented that yield new approximations to the adiabatic connection and thus to the exchange-correlation energy.
