As expected from the linearity of the ensemble energy, the GIC-S functional coupled or not with a correlation functional yield extremely stable excitation energies as a function of the weight, with only a few tenths of eV difference between the zero- and equi-weights limits.
Nonetheless, the excitation energy is still off by $3$ eV.
The fundamental theoretical reason of such a poor agreement is not clear.
The fact that HF exchange yields better excitation energies hints at the effect of self-interaction error.

calculated by short-range multiconfigurational DFT in Ref.~\cite{Senjean_2015}, using the (weight-independent) srLDA functional~\cite{Toulouse_2004}
and setting the range-separation parameter to $\mu = 0.4$ bohr$^{-1}$.
The excitation energy improves by 1 eV compared
to the weight-independent S-VWN5 functional, thus showing that treating the long-range part of the electron-electron repulsion by wavefunction theory plays a significant role.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:ccl}
Although the weight-dependent functionals developed in this paper perform systematically
better than their
weight-independent counterparts, the improvement remains small.
To better understand the reasons of this small improvement,
it will be particularly interesting to investigate
the error due to the self-consistent procedure,
\ie, by checking the difference in the excitation energy when the {\it exact} ensemble density (built with the exact individual densities) is used instead
of the converged one. Density-driven as well as state-driven errors~\cite{Gould_2019,Fromager_2020} can also be calculated to provide more flavours about the results obtained in this paper. This is left for future work.
In the light of the results obtained in this study on double excitations computed within the GOK-DFT framework, we believe that the development of more universal weight-dependent exchange and correlation functionals has a bright future, and we hope to be able to report further on this in the near future.
