To go beyond the LDA and cure its over correlation at small $\mu$, some of the authors recently proposed a Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE)-based ECMD functional\cite{LooPraSceTouGin-JPCL-19},
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:def_pbe_tot}
\bE{\PBE}{\Bas}[\n{}{},\rsmu{}{\Bas}] =
\int \n{}{}(\br{}) \be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBE}\qty(\n{}{}(\br{}),s(\br{}),\zeta(\br{}),\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})) \dbr{},
\end{equation}
where $s = \abs{\nabla \n{}{}}/\n{}{4/3}$ is the reduced density gradient.
$\be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBE}\qty(\n{}{},s,\zeta,\rsmu{}{})$ interpolates between the usual PBE correlation functional, \cite{PerBurErn-PRL-96} $\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)$, at $\rsmu{}{} = 0$ (DFT limit) and the exact large-$\rsmu{}{}$ behavior (WFT limit). \cite{TouColSav-PRA-04, GorSav-PRA-06, PazMorGorBac-PRB-06}
It reads
$\be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBE}\qty(\n{}{},s,\zeta,\rsmu{}{})$ interpolates between the usual PBE correlation functional, \cite{PerBurErn-PRL-96} $\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)$, at $\rsmu{}{} = 0$ (DFT limit) and the exact large-$\rsmu{}{}$ behavior where the on-top pair density appears. \cite{TouColSav-PRA-04, GorSav-PRA-06, PazMorGorBac-PRB-06} In order to avoid the computation of the exact on-top pair density, the authors proposed to use that of the UEG which leads to
\begin{subequations}
\begin{gather}
\label{eq:epsilon_cmdpbe}
\be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta,\rsmu{}{}) = \frac{\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)}{1 + \beta(\n{}{},s,\zeta) \rsmu{}{3} },
\\
\label{eq:beta_cmdpbe}
\beta(\n{}{},s,\zeta) = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{\pi} (1 - \sqrt{2} )} \frac{\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)}{\n{2}{}(\br{},\br{})/\n{}{}}.
\beta(\n{}{},s,\zeta) = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{\pi} (1 - \sqrt{2} )} \frac{\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)}{\n{2}{\UEG}(\n{}{},\zeta)/\n{}{}}.
\end{gather}
\end{subequations}
where $\n{2}{\UEG}(\n{}{},\zeta) \approx \n{}{2} (1-\zeta^2) g_0(n)$ with the parametrization of the UEG on-top pair-distribution function $g_0(n)$ given in Eq.~(46) of Ref.~\citenum{GorSav-PRA-06}.
We will refer to this functional as the PBE ECMD functional.
As the UEG on-top pair density might not be suitable to treat strongly correlated systems, we propose here to use an extrapolation of the exact on-top pair density based on the on-top pair density:
\begin{equation}
\n{2}{\text{extr}}(\br{},\n{2}{\Bas},\rsmu{}{\Bas}) = \frac{\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{})}{1+ \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})}}.
\end{equation}
Therefore, we introduce the ``on top'' PBE (PBEot) ECMD functional which reads:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:def_pbe_tot}
\bE{\PBEot}{\Bas}[\n{}{},\rsmu{}{\Bas}] =
\int \n{}{}(\br{}) \be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBEot}\qty(\n{}{}(\br{}),s(\br{}),\zeta(\br{}),\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{}),\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})) \dbr{},
\end{equation}
with
\begin{subequations}
\begin{gather}
\label{eq:epsilon_cmdpbe}
\be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBEot}(\n{}{},s,\zeta,\n{2}{\Bas},\rsmu{}{}) = \frac{\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)}{1 + \beta(\n{}{},s,\zeta,\n{2}{}) \rsmu{}{3} },
\\
\label{eq:beta_cmdpbe}
\beta(\n{}{},s,\zeta,\n{2}{}) = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{\pi} (1 - \sqrt{2} )} \frac{\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)}{\n{2}{\text{extr}}(\n{2}{\Bas},\rsmu{}{\Bas})/\n{}{}}.
\end{gather}
\end{subequations}
We will refer to this functional as the ``on top'' PBE (PBEot) ECMD functional.
More recently, \cite{LooPraSceTouGin-JPCL-19} we have also proposed a simplified version of the PBEot functional where we replaced the on-top pair density by its UEG version, i.e.~$\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{}) \approx \n{2}{\UEG}(\n{}{}(\br{}),\zeta(\br{}))$, where $\n{2}{\UEG}(\n{}{},\zeta) \approx \n{}{2} (1-\zeta^2) g_0(n)$ with the parametrization of the UEG on-top pair-distribution function $g_0(n)$ given in Eq.~(46) of Ref.~\citenum{GorSav-PRA-06}.
This computationally-lighter functional will be referred to as PBE.

It is interesting to study the behavior of $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ for different states as the basis set incompleteness error is obviously state specific.
To do so, we consider the ground state (${}^{1}\Sigma^+$) of carbon monoxide as well as its lowest singlet excited state (${}^{1}\Pi$).
The values of the vertical excitation energies obtained for various methods and basis sets are reported in Table \ref{tab:Mol}.
Figure \ref{fig:CO} represents $\rsmu{}{}(z)$ along the nuclear axis ($z$) for these two electronic states computed with the AVDZ, AVTZ and AVQZ basis sets.
\manu{These figures illustrate several important things:
i) the maximal values of $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ are systematically close to the nuclei, a signature of the atom-centered basis set,
ii) the overall values of $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ increase with the basis set, which reflects the improvement of the description of the correlation effects when enlarging the basis set,
iii) the value of $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ are slightly larger near the oxygen atom, which traduces the fact that the inter-electronic distance is higher than close to the carbon atom due to a higher nuclear charge. }
