Solution Overview
Problem
Current first-principle calculation methods, such as those based on density functional theory, struggle to achieve a real solution for electronic states of materials due to limitations in local density approximation and generalized gradient approximation techniques, which lack a self-consistent calculation method for high accuracy.
Innovation Solution
An electronic state computing method that evaluates deviations from approximate solutions using energy functionals and order parameters to compute exact solutions by extending the operator space and finding a Cauchy sequence in a Banach space, allowing for improved accuracy without evaluating the universal energy functional.

1Productivity
If local density approximation or generalized gradient approximation is used in first-principle calculation, then computation is feasible within implementable range, but exact solution for electronic state cannot be reached
Solution Approach 1:
The calculation process is segmented into multiple iterative steps: initial approximation using LDA/GGA, calculation of functional derivatives, determination of fluctuation operators, and sequential refinement. This segmentation allows the system to progressively approach the exact solution while maintaining computational feasibility at each stage.
Solution Approach 2:
The method introduces dynamic refinement where the calculation evolves from static approximation to dynamic correction through iterative computation of functional derivatives and fluctuation operators. The system adapts by sequentially adding correlation effects and adjusting the model Hamiltonian based on computed derivatives.
2Measurement precision
If reference calculation methods such as Quantum Monte Carlo or Configuration Interaction are used, then reproduction accuracy of physical quantities is improved, but calculation complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Functional derivatives serve as intermediaries that bridge the gap between simple LDA/GGA calculations and complex reference methods. By computing derivatives with respect to density and fluctuation operators, the method extracts correlation information without requiring full reference calculations, thus reducing complexity while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The method changes parameters systematically by introducing fluctuation operators and their correlation functions as additional variables. This parameter expansion allows the system to capture correlation effects progressively, improving accuracy without requiring complete reference calculations at each step.
3Measurement precision
If multi-configuration reference density functional method is used to reproduce fluctuation variables, then accuracy of physical quantities is raised to arbitrary accuracy, but self-consistent calculation theory for reaching real solution is not established
Solution Approach 1:
The method implements feedback by using computed functional derivatives to determine fluctuation operators, which then feed back into the model Hamiltonian for the next iteration. This closed-loop approach ensures self-consistency as the calculation progressively refines the electronic state while maintaining theoretical rigor.
