12. c, but with the triangular vertex parts [see Fig. 3(c) in Ref. [11]] evaluated in local-density approximations. The gross failure of the old-fashioned gradient approximation, due to the unwitting attempt to expand the van der Waals interaction in terms of semilocal gradients, is obviated here by treating the van der Waals term in a more appropriate approximation.
