The density functional theory (DFT) [7,8] is now widely used in studying both infinite bulk crystalline materials and finite atoms, molecules, and clusters. In principle, the ground-state total energy as well as the electron density itself in interacting many-electron systems is accurately described in DFT. Therefore, the geometry optimization by minimizing the total energy should also be accurate in DFT as well. The electronic band structure is, on the other hand, a very useful but approximate physical concept based on the quasiparticle theory for inter-... 

All quantities, like this external potential, the ground-state total energy of the system (placed in the slightly perturbed external potential), or the corresponding density, will be written as a perturbation series, as follows (for a generic quantity... 

The numerical study of the exact spectra of the finite lattice strips with different values of parameters tu t2 and z3 shows that for 1 > p > -0.5 there is a monotonic decrease in the ground state total spin with the increase of the interaction between segments [26,40]. The increase in the total number of segments L leads to the same result. Therefore we can study the stability of the ferromagnetic state of a strip, comparing the energies of the lowest states with... 

Hence, Eqs. (2-94) and (2-95) have the appearance of size-correct corrections that separate into a size-extensive correction to the ground-state total energy and a size-intensive one for the excitation energy. However, they are not size correct... 

All of the ground-state total-energy differences, regardless of basis set or correlation treatments, give essentially the same result. For example, MBPT(2) calculations with the 6-3IG basis favor the gauche conformation over the anti conformation by just 0.04 kcal/mol. The barrier between these two conformers is 0.6 kcal/mol, but the barrier between the two gauche forms is 1.2 kcal/mol. Steric factors will dominate considerations of the relative energies of substituted rotamers. 

We have written the ground state total energy of the system as... 

We note that in the Hartree-Fock method exchange is treated exactly but correlations are neglected completely. The Hartree-Fock total energy is an upper bound to the true ground-state total energy, while the LSD and GGA energies are not. 

A completely different, yet efficient, and alternative approach to the electronic ground state total energy of a given system is provided by Density Functional Theory (DFT).62 The main idea behind DFT is that the energy...

Similarly the ground-state total energy, which is determined by the Hamiltonian and the ground-state wavefunction must be a functional of the ground-state density ...

Write a priori the ground-state total energy that would be obtained if we used the three configurations 2(t, and 1(T 2(T in an MCSCF calculation. 

FSGO [35] (the abbreviations are explained on pp. 3/4), deal with various ground-state properties of PH and, in some cases [14,18,19, 29, 31], with the lowest excited states. The so far best theoretical value for the ground-state total molecular energy at the equilibrium internu-clear distance, Et=-341.05765 E, was obtained by a recent G2 calculation using a method that treats the electron correlation by Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP4) and quadratic configuration interaction (QCI) [25]. 

The basis of density functional theory is that the ground state total energy of a system can be expressed (exactly) in terms of functionals of the electronic charge density... 

An equivalent definition of the ground-state total energy can be obtained from the variational principle, i.e.
