The data presented in Sec.~\ref{sec:fndmc_mu} evidence that, in a finite basis, RS-DFT can provide
trial wave functions with better nodes than FCI wave function.
trial wave functions with better nodes than FCI wave functions.
As mentioned in Sec.~\ref{sec:SD}, such behavior can be directly compared to the common practice of
re-optimizing the multi-determinant part of a trial wave function $\Psi$ (the so-called Slater part) in the presence of the exponentiated Jastrow factor $e^J$. \cite{Umrigar_2005,Scemama_2006,Umrigar_2007,Toulouse_2007,Toulouse_2008}
