Here, we consider as testing ground the minimal-basis \ce{H2} molecule.
|
||||
We select STO-3G as minimal basis, and study the behaviour of the total energy of \ce{H2} as a function of the internuclear distance $\RHH$ (in bohr).
|
||||
This minimal-basis example is quite pedagogical as the molecular orbitals are fixed by symmetry.
|
||||
Therefore, there is no density-driven error and the only error that we are going to see is the functional-driven error (and this is what we want to study).
|

This minimal-basis example is quite pedagogical as the molecular orbitals are fixed by symmetry.
|
||||
We have then access to the individual densities of the ground and doubly-excited states (which is not usually possible in practice).
|
||||
Therefore, thanks to the spatial symmetry and the minimal basis, the individual densities extracted from the ensemble density are equal to the \textit{exact} individual densities.
|
||||
In other words, there is no density-driven error and the only error that we are going to see is the functional-driven error (and this is what we want to study).

The bonding and antibonding orbitals of the \ce{H2} molecule are given by
