Density Functional Theory (DFT)

Although many DFT codes simply calculate spin-contamination using the Kohn-Sham orbitals as if they were Hartree-Fock orbitals, this is not necessarily correct.

Famous quotes containing the words functional and/or theory:

    In short, the building becomes a theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal. In this romanticism, High-Tech architecture is, of course, no different in spirit—if totally different in form—from all the romantic architecture of the past.
    Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)

    Every theory is a self-fulfilling prophecy that orders experience into the framework it provides.
    Ruth Hubbard (b. 1924)
