Tóm tắt

The purpose of this presentation is to show the importance of the Colle–Salvetti (Theor Chim Acta 37:329, 1975) paper in the development of modern computational density functional theory. To do this we cover the following topics (1) the Bright Wilson understanding (2) the Kohn–Sham equations (3) local density exchange (4) the exchange-hole (5) generalised gradient approximation for exchange (Becke and Cohen) (6) left–right correlation and dynamic correlation (7) the development of the Lee–Yang–Parr dynamic correlation functional from the Colle–Salvetti paper (8) the early success of GGA DFT. Finally we observe that the the BLYP and OLYP exchange-correlation functionals are not semi-empirical; this may explain their great success.
