Abstract
This work assess the reliability of the recently proposed [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 233001, 2021] global natural orbital functional (GNOF) in the treatment of the strong electron correlation regime. We first use an H10 benchmark set of four hydrogen model systems of different dimensionalities and distinctive electronic structures: a 1D chain, a 2D ring, a 2D sheet, and a 3D close-packed pyramid. Second, we study two paradigmatic models for strongly correlated Mott insulators, namely a 1D H50 chain and a 4x4x4 3D H cube. We show that GNOF without hybridization to other electronic structure methods and free of tuned parameters succeeds in treating weak and strong correlation in a more balanced way than the functionals that have preceded it.
