In order to check to what extent this scheme can express the correlation effects, actual calculations are performed for the neutral neon atom. It is shown that this scheme reproduces about 20% of the correlation energy through use of noninteracting single determinants with an approximate correlating kinetic energy functional. Thus, since it obviously provides the N-representable and correlated PD, this scheme can be positioned as an effective initial theory in the field of the PD functional theory, just like the position of the Hartree-Fock approximation in the field of the wave function theory., Article, PHYSICAL REVIEW B. 78(12):125101 (2008)}, title = {Pair density functional theory utilizing the noninteracting reference system: An effective initial theory}, volume = {78}, year = {2008} }
