Abstract

A universal energy functional which depends only on the charge density operator p and which approximates the Hartree-Fock energy expression, is advanced. This functional, whose construction is based on the use of Harriman's orbitals, goes beyond the usual plane-wave approximations. Closed analytic expressions for the kinetic and exchange energies, are presented
