This is different from the usual context where both exchange and
correlation are treated at the LDA level which provides key error compensation features.
Despite the errors
that might be introduced into the ensemble energy within such a scheme,
cancellations may actually occur when computing excitation energies,
which are energy \textit{differences}.}
As shown in Sec.~\ref{sec:res}, moving from the pure
ground-state picture to an equiensemble one can actually improve
the ground-state energy significantly within such a scheme, thus
highlighting a major difference between conventional and GOK DFT
calculations.

These are all very sensible observations.\\
Let us finally stress that the (well-known) poor performance of the
combined full HF-exchange/LDA correlation scheme in
ground-state DFT [$\bw=(0,0)$] is substantially improved for the
ground state within the equiensemble [$\bw=(1/3,1/3)$]} (see the \SI).
combined 100\% HF-exchange/LDA correlation scheme in
ground-state [\ie, $\bw=(0,0)$] DFT, where the correlation energy is
overestimated, is substantially improved for the
ground state within the equiensemble [$\bw=(1/3,1/3)$]} (see the {\SI} for
further details).
This is a
remarkable and promising result. A similar improvement is observed for
the first excited state, at least in the weak correlation regime,
without deteriorating too much the second excited-state energy.
