47. A Dyson orbital is the best approximation in the sense of Equation (4) for the difference of the quantum mechanical states of a molecule and its cation, which is obtained by a "simple direct one-electron ionization process". Brückner orbitals yield the highest overlap of the accurate wave function with its orbital approximation. Strongly and weakly occupied natural orbitals are the eigen-functions of an accurate "reduced one-electron density operator". See, e.g., J. V. Ortiz, Int. J. Quantum Chem. 2004, 100, 1131.

55. The KS density functional approach is an orbital-based approach. Theory and computational and experimental data demonstrate the physical significance of KS-DF orbitals. The exact KS-DF orbital energies are closely related to the one-elecron ionization potentials, while common approximate ones may deviate significantly. See, for example, a) P. Chong, O. V.

122. Differences are due to the spatial extension and quantum smearing of the proton, its electric charge and magnetic dipole distribution, the "weak interaction" and the gravitational interaction between proton and electron, quantum electrodynamic effects (Lamb shift due to electromagnetic vacuum fluctuation and virtual electron-positron pair creation in the vicinity of the nucleus), the suppression of the exponentially decaying tail of the electronic orbital at large distances due to environmental perturbations by radiation fields and particle fluxes, etc.
