9 Can one-electron equations for embedded orbitals lead to the exact ground-state electron density? ρ Ao =Σ i=1 n i φ A i 2 To satisfy the relation ρ exact = ρ B + ρ A0 the sufficient conditions are * : i) The functional derivatives of exact functionals (E xc [ρ] and T s nad [ρ A,ρ B ]) are used. ii) The chosen ρ B is such that ρ exact - ρ B is pure-state non-interacting v-representable. * T.A.

47 Summary USC Los Angeles, August 13, 2007 One-electron equations for embedded orbitals: Only universal density functionals Approximating the non-additive kinetic energy functional: A new challenge for theory Simple approximations to the orbital-free effective embedding potential: (and the parent functional): LDA and GGA97 have large range of applicability (small overlap between ρ A and ρ B such as in the case of hydrogen-bonded complexes) Multi-level modelling: The interface between a subsystem described at the Kohn-Sham resolution and the subsystem described without orbitals (density only). Orbital-free effective embedding potential V eff emb [ρ A,ρ B ](r): V eff emb [ρ A,ρ B ](r) is different for different guests in the same ρ B environment. V eff emb [ρ A,ρ B ](r) changes during SCF. During SCF, small changes in V eff emb [ρ A,ρ B ](r). Linearized V eff emb [ρ A,ρ B ](r), frequently applicable.

Ψ emb q 2 q 3 (H 0 +V emb )Ψ emb = E emb Ψ emb iii) Extensive use of empirical information about the environment: atomic charges, group dipole moments, polaizability for V emb and London-type formula for atom-atom interactions for a posteriori energy corrections. * Some methods use a generalization of the idea of pseudopotental to account for othogonality in V emb.
