Unless otherwise stated, we set the same weight to the two excited states (\ie, $\ew{} \equiv \ew{1} = \ew{2}$), and we consider the zero-weight limit (\ie, $\ew{} \equiv \ew{1} = \ew{2} = 0$), and the equiweight ensemble (\ie, $\ew{} \equiv \ew{1} = \ew{2} = 1/3$).
|
||||
In this case, the ensemble energy will be written as a single-weight quantity, $\E{}{\ew{}}$.
|
||||
|
||||
Let us mention now that we will sometimes ``violate'' the GOK variational principle in order to build our weight-dependent functionals.
|
||||
However, let us stress that we will not compute excitation energies with these ensembles inconsistent with GOK theory.

Because this exchange functional does not depend on the ensemble weight, there is no contribution from the ensemble derivative term [last term in Eq.~\eqref{eq:dEdw}].

Taking as a reference the full configuration interaction (FCI) value of $28.75$ eV obtained with the aug-mcc-pV8Z basis set, \cite{Barca_2018a} one can see that the excitation energy varies by more than $8$ eV from $\ew{} = 0$ to $1/3$.

Although this range of weights is inconsistent with GOK theory, we have found that it is important, from a practical point of view, to ensure a correct behavior on the whole range of weights in order to obtain accurate excitation energies.

|
||||
As readily seen from Eq.~\eqref{eq:Cxw} and graphically illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:Cxw} (red curve), the weight-dependent correction does not affect the three ghost-interaction-free limits at $\ew{1} = \ew{2} = 0$ and $\ew{1} = 0 \land \ew{2} = 1$ (\ie, the pure-state limits), as $\Cx{\ew{}}$ reduces to $\Cx{}$ in these two limits thanks to the factor $\ew{} (1 - \ew{})$.
|
||||
Indeed, it is important to ensure that the weight-dependent functional does not alter these pure-state limit, which is a genuine saddle point of the KS equations, as mentioned above.
|
||||
Finally, let us mention that, around $\ew{} = 0$, the behaviour of Eq.~\eqref{eq:Cxw} is linear.

To investigate the weight dependence of the xc functional in the strong correlation regime, we now consider the \ce{H2} molecule in a stretched geometry ($\RHH = 3.7$ bohr).
|
||||
For this particular geometry, the doubly-excited state becomes the
|
||||
lowest excited state with the same symmetry as
|
||||
the ground state, so we can safely restrict ourselves to a biensemble composed by the ground state and the doubly-excited state.

Note that, for this particular geometry, the doubly-excited state becomes the lowest excited state with the same symmetry as the ground state.
|
||||
Although we could safely restrict ourselves to a biensemble composed by the ground state and the doubly-excited state, we eschew doing this and we still consider the same triensemble as defined in Sec.~\ref{sec:H2}
|
||||
%In other words, we set the weight of the single excitation to zero (\ie, $\ew{1} = 0$) and we have thus $\ew = \ew{2}$ for the rest of this example.
|
||||
We then follow the same protocol as in Sec.~\ref{sec:H2}, and considering again the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set, we design a CC-S functional for this system at $\RHH = 3.7$ bohr.
|
||||
It yields $\alpha = +0.019\,182$, $\beta = -0.015\,453$, and $\gamma = -0.012\,720$ [see Eq.~\eqref{eq:Cxw}].
|

The weight dependence of $\Cx{\ew{}}$ is illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:Cxw} (green curve).
|
||||
|
||||
One clearly sees that the correction brought by CC-S is much more gentle than at $\RHH = 1.4$ bohr, which means that the ensemble energy obtained with the LDA exchange functional is much more linear at $\RHH = 3.7$ bohr.

In the present article, we have discussed the construction of first-rung (\ie, local) weight-dependent exchange-correlation density-functional approximations for two-electron systems (\ce{He} and \ce{H2}) specifically designed for the computation of double excitations within GOK-DFT, a time-\textit{independent} formalism thanks to which one can extract excitation energies via the derivative of the ensemble energy with respect to the weight of each excited state.
|

|

Although the weight-dependent correlation functional developed in this paper (eVWN5) performs systematically better than their weight-independent counterpart (VWN5), the improvement remains rather small.

To better understand the reasons behind this, it would be particularly interesting to investigate the influence of the self-consistent procedure,
