Self-interaction correction to density-functional approximations for many-electron systems

JP Perdew, A Zunger - Physical review B, 1981 - APS
The exact density functional for the ground-state energy is strictly self-interaction-free (ie,
orbitals demonstrably do not self-interact), but many approximations to it, including the local …
