Unlike any standard functional, eLDA incorporates derivative

In the latter case, the same weights are assigned to each state belonging to the ensemble.
The improvement on the excitation energies brought by the KS-eLDA scheme is particularly impressive in the strong correlation regime where usual methods, such as TDLDA, fail.
We have observed that, although the ensemble correlation discontinuity has a
We have observed that, although the correlation ensemble derivative has a
non-negligible effect on the excitation energies (especially for the
single excitations), its magnitude can be significantly reduced by
performing equiweight calculations instead of zero-weight
calculations.

Let us finally stress that the present methodology can be extended to other types of ensembles like, for example, the
$\nEl$-centered ones, \cite{Senjean_2018,Senjean_2020} thus allowing for the design of a LDA-type functional for the
calculation of ionization potentials, electron affinities, and
fundamental gaps.
