Since the development of generalized gradient approximations in the 1990s, approximations based on density functional theory have dominated electronic structure theory calculations. Modern approximations can yield energy differences that are precise enough to be predictive in many instances, as validated by large- and small-scale benchmarking efforts. However, assessing the quality of densities has been the subject of far less attention, in part because reliable error measures are difficult to define. To this end, this work introduces the mean-field error, which directly assesses the quality of densities from approximations. The mean-field error is contextualized within existing frameworks of density functional error analysis and understanding and shown to be part of the density-driven error. It is demonstrated in several illustrative examples. Its potential use in future benchmarking protocols is discussed, and some conclusions are drawn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
