Future work that may remove the remaining differences includes (i) time dependent DFT and other calculations of the positions of the polarization peaks (Fig.� 1) followed by improvements to the approximation Eq.� 2, (ii) derivation of the gradient corrections appropriate to (Formula presented) with corresponding modifications to Eq.� 1, and (iii) implementation of exact exchange with corresponding modifications to Eq.� 5.
