Abstract
The complex nature of electron-electron correlations is made manifest in the very simple but non-trivial problem of two electrons confined within a sphere. The description of highly non-local correlation and self-interaction effects by widely used local and semi-local exchange-correlation energy density functionals is shown to be unsatisfactory in most cases. Even the best such functionals exhibit significant errors in the Kohn-Sham potentials and density profiles.
