We investigate the Colle-Salvetti (CS) formula, the basis of the Lee, Yang and Parr (LYP) correlation functional used in approximate density functional theory. The CS formula is reparametrized using high-accuracy Hartree-Fock (HF) wavefunctions to determine the accuracy of the formula to calculate anions. Fitting to the hydride ion or the two-electron system just prior to electron detachment at the HF level of theory does not, in general, improve the calculated correlation energies using the parameters derived from the CS/LYP method. An analysis of the CS parameters used in the popular LYP functional demonstrates the ingenuity and perhaps fortuitousness of the original formulation by CS.
我们研究了Colle-Salvetti(CS)公式,它是近似密度泛函理论中使用的Lee、Yang和Parr(LYP)相关泛函的基础。使用高精度Hartree-Fock(HF)波函数对CS公式进行重新参数化,以确定该公式计算阴离子的准确性。一般来说,在HF理论水平下,拟合氢负离子或电子脱离前的双电子体系,并不会使用从CS/LYP方法导出的参数来提高计算得到的相关能。对流行的LYP泛函中使用的CS参数进行分析,证明了CS原始公式的独创性,或许还有些偶然因素。
