Abstract

We propose approximations which go beyond the local-density approximation for the short-range exchange and correlation density functionals appearing in a multideterminantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme. A first approximation consists of defining locally the range of the interaction in the correlation functional. Another approximation, more conventional, is based on a gradient expansion of the short-range exchange-correlation functional. Finally, we also test a short-range generalized-gradient approximation by extending the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof exchange-correlation functional to short-range interactions.
