The quest for a universal density functional: The accuracy of density functionals across a broad spectrum of databases in chemistry and physics

Roberto Peverati, Donald G. Truhlar

Kohn-Sham density functional theory is in principle an exact formulation of quantum mechanical electronic structure theory, but in practice we have to rely on approximate exchange-…
