In the search for an accurate and computationally efficient approximation to the exact exchange potential of Kohn-Sham density functional theory, we recently compared various semilocal exchange potentials to the exact one [F. Tran et al.,…

Using the optimized effective potential method in conjunction with the semi-analytical approximation due to Krieger, Li and Iafrate, we have performed fully self-consistent exact exchange-only density-functional calculations for diatomic…

The electron density, its gradient, and the Kohn-Sham orbital kinetic energy density are the local ingredients of a meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA). We construct a meta-GGA density functional for the exchange-correlation…

The Hartree-Fock exchange operator is an integral operator arising in the Hartree-Fock method and replaced by a multiplicative operator (a local potential) in Kohn-Sham density functional theory. This article presents a detailed analysis of…

We analyze the methodology and the performance of subsystem density functional theory (DFT) with meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) exchange-correlation functionals for non-bonded systems. Meta-GGA functionals depend on the…

It is found that, in closed-$l$-subshell atoms, the exact local exchange potential of the density functional theory is very well represented, within the region of every atomic shell, by each of the suitably shifted potentials obtained with…

A widely used approximation to the exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory is the local density approximation (LDA), typically derived from the properties of the homogeneous electron gas (HEG). We previously introduced…

We propose approximations which go beyond the local density approximation for the short-range exchange and correlation density functionals appearing in a multi-determinantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme. A first approximation consists…

We present a density difference based analysis for a range of orbital--dependent Kohn--Sham functionals. Results for atoms, some members of the neon isoelectronic series and small molecules are reported and compared with ab initio…

We show how one can construct \alert{a simple} exchange functional by extending the well-know local-density approximation (LDA) to finite uniform electron gases. This new generalized local-density approximation (GLDA) functional uses only…

Using the Kohn-Sham (KS) inversion method of Hollins et al. [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 29, 04LT01 (2017)], we invert densities from variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations to obtain benchmark QMC-KS potentials for a…

We test the Coulomb exchange and correlation energy density functionals of electron systems for atomic nuclei in the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). For the exchange Coulomb energies, it…

The local density approximation (LDA) constructed through quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the homogeneous electron gas (HEG) is the most common approximation to the exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory. We…

For closed-shell systems, the local density approximation (LDA) and the LYP, BLYP, and B3LYP functionals are shown to be compatible with reference-state one-particle density-matrix theory, where this recently introduced formalism is based…

We investigate the behavior of three-dimensional (3D) exchange-correlation energy functional approximations of density functional theory in anisotropic systems with two-dimensional (2D) character. Using two simple models, quasi-2D electron…

Standard approximations for the exchange-correlation (XC) functional in Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) typically lead to unacceptably large errors when applied to strongly-correlated electronic systems. Partition-DFT (PDFT) is…

In the context of the density functional theory we consider the single particle excitation spectra of electron systems. As a result, we have related the single particle excitations with the eigenvalues of the corresponding Kohn-Sham…

A simple, novel, non-empirical, constraint-based orbital-free generalized gradient approximation (GGA) non-interacting kinetic energy density functional is presented along with illustrative applications. The innovation is adaptation of…

F.E. Harris has been a significant partner in our work on orbital-free density functional approximations for use in ab initio molecular dynamics. Here we mention briefly the essential progress on single-point functionals since our original…

We compare the behavior of the finite-temperature Hartree-Fock model with that of thermal density functional theory using both ground-state and temperature-dependent approximate exchange functionals. The test system is bcc Li in the…
