Progress toward unifying these two approaches are on-going.
Using accurate and rigorous WFT methods, some of us have developed radical generalisations of DFT that are free of the well-known limitations of conventional DFT.
Using accurate and rigorous WFT methods, some of us have developed radical generalizations of DFT that are free of the well-known limitations of conventional DFT.
In that respect range-separated DFT (RS-DFT) is particularly promising as it allows to perform multi-configurational DFT calculations within a rigorous mathematical framework.
Range-separated hybrids, i.e.~single-determinant approximations of RS-DFT, correct for the wrong long-range behavior of the usual hybrid approximations thanks to the inclusion of the long-range part of the Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange.

One of the consequences of the incompleteness of $\Bas$ is that $\wf{}{\Bas}$ does not have a cusp (i.e.~a discontinuous derivative) at the electron-electron (e-e) coalescence points.
As the e-e cusp originates from the divergence of the Coulomb operator at $r_{12} = 0$, a cuspless wave function could equivalently originate from a Hamiltonian with a non-divergent Coulomb interaction at $r_{12} = 0$.
Therefore, it feels natural to evaluate $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ with short-range density functionals.
Contrary to conventional RS-DFT schemes which require a range-separated parameter $\rsmu{}{}$, we must know the value of $\rsmu{}{}$ at any point in space due to the spatial inhomogeneity of $\Bas$, hence defining a range-separated \textit{function} $\rsmu{}{}(\br{})$.

The first step of our basis set correction consists in obtaining the effective operator $\W{\wf{}{\Bas}}{}(\bx{1},\bx{2})$ which i) is finite at the e-e coalescence points as long as an incomplete basis set is used, and ii) tends to the genuine, unbounded $r_{12}^{-1}$ Coulomb operator in the limit of a complete basis set.

In order to correct such a defect, we propose here a new ECMD functional inspired by the recently proposed functional of some of the present authors \cite{FerGinTou-JCP-18} which interpolates between the usual PBE correlation functional $\e{\PBE}{}(\n{}{},\nabla \n{}{})$ for small $\rsmu{}{}$ and the exact large-$\rsmu{}{}$ behaviour, \cite{TouColSav-PRA-04, GoriSav-PRA-06, PazMorGori-PRB-06} yielding
