20. An illustrative example is the charge-transfer excitations in which the overlap of κ (r) and j (r) is zero. Since Kv and pk | fxcLDA | pj both become zero, we can conclude that ΩALDA ≈ ω. In comparison, our occupation number averaging scheme gives Ω ≈ ω v f LDA Jv. It incorprates the shift by self-interaction energy and the electron-hole Coulomb attraction. Consistent behavior is observed when xc functionals containing derivative discontinuities are used, which yield a nonzero correction because of singularities in fxc [A. Dreuw and M. Head-Gordon, J. Am. Chem. Soc. JACSAT 0002-7863 10.1021/ja039556n 126, 4007 (2004)]. Meanwhile, the δSCF method gives the same expression as Ω ALDA in such cases, so it would also give results in good accuracy. For usual conditions (e.g., partial overlap or K is nontrivial), our scheme is more rigorous and would give a better performance.
