Abstract
The local ingredients of a meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) include the electron density, its gradient, and the Kohn-Sham orbital kinetic energy density. We discuss the strategy of constructing a successful meta-GGA density functional for the exchange-correlation energy that satisfies exact constraints without empirical parameters. The new feature of this functional is that it simultaneously respects the two paradigms of electronic structure theory: one- or two-electron densities and slowly-varying densities, and so is uniformly accurate for atoms, molecules and solids. Results of extensive numerical tests of the new functional are summarized and evaluated.
