In order to increase the accuracy of the linearized augmented plane wave method (LAPW) we present a new approach where the plane wave basis function is augmented by two different atomic radial components constructed at two different linearization energies corresponding to two different electron bands (or energy windows). We demonstrate that this case can be reduced to the standard treatment within the LAPW paradigm where the usual basis set is enriched by the basis functions of the tight binding type, which go to zero with zero derivative at the sphere boundary. We show that the task is closely related with the problem of extended core states which is currently solved by applying the LAPW method with local orbitals (LAPW+LO). In comparison with LAPW+LO, the number of supplemented basis functions in our approach is doubled, which opens up a new channel for the extension of the LAPW and LAPW+LO basis sets. The appearance of new supplemented basis functions absent in the LAPW+LO treatment is closely related with the existence of the $dot{u}_l-$component in the canonical LAPW method. We discuss properties of additional tight binding basis functions and apply the extended basis set for computation of electron energy bands of lanthanum (face and body centered structures) and hexagonal close packed lattice of cadmium. We demonstrate that the new treatment gives lower total energies in comparison with both canonical LAPW and LAPW+LO, with the energy difference more pronounced for intermediate and poor LAPW basis sets.

Electronic correlation energies from the random-phase approximation converge slowly with respect to the plane wave basis set size. We study the conditions, under which a short-range local density functional can be used to account for the basis set in
completeness error. Furthermore, we propose a one-shot extrapolation scheme based on the Lindhard response function of the homogeneous electron gas. The different basis set correction methods are used to calculate equilibrium lattice constants for prototypical solids of different bonding types.
The constrained electron density method of embedding a Kohn-Sham system in a substrate system (first described by P. Cortona, Phys. Rev. B {bf 44}, 8454 (1991) and T.A. Wesolowski and A. Warshel, J. Phys. Chem {bf 97}, 8050 (1993)) is applied with a
plane-wave basis and both local and non-local pseudopotentials. This method divides the electron density of the system into substrate and embedded electron densities, the sum of which is the electron density of the system of interest. Coupling between the substrate and embedded systems is achieved via approximate kinetic energy functionals. Bulk aluminium is examined as a test case for which there is a strong interaction between the substrate and embedded systems. A number of approximations to the kinetic-energy functional, both semi-local and non-local, are investigated. It is found that Kohn-Sham results can be well reproduced using a non-local kinetic energy functional, with the total energy accurate to better than 0.1 eV per atom and good agreement between the electron densities.
We present a new full-potential method to solve the one-body problem, for example, in the local density approximation. The method uses the augmented plane waves (APWs) and the generalized muffin-tin orbitals (MTOs) together as basis sets to represent
the eigenfunctions. Since the MTOs can efficiently describe localized orbitals, e.g, transition metal 3$d$ orbitals, the total energy convergence with basis size is drastically improved in comparison with the linearized APW method. Required parameters to specify MTOs are given by atomic calculations in advance. Thus the robustness, reliability, easy-of-use, and efficiency at this method can be superior to the linearized APW and MTO methods. We show how it works in typical examples, Cu, Fe, Li, SrTiO$_3$, and GaAs.
We present an implementaion of interface between the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave package Wien2k and the wannier90 code for the construction of maximally localized Wannier functions. The FORTRAN code and a documentation is made avai
lable and results are discussed for SrVO$_3$, Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ (including spin-orbit coupling), LaFeAsO, and FeSb$_2$.
There are many ways to numerically represent of chemical systems in order to compute their electronic structure. Basis functions may be localized in real-space (atomic orbitals), in momentum-space (plane waves), or in both components of phase-space.
Such phase-space localized basis functions in the form of wavelets, have been used for many years in electronic structure. In this paper, we turn to a phase-space localized basis set first introduced by K. G. Wilson. We provide the first full study of this basis and its numerical implementation. To calculate electronic energies of a variety of small molecules and states, we utilize the sum-of-products form, Gaussian quadratures, and introduce methods for selecting sample points from a grid of phase-space localized Wilson basis. Both full configuration interaction and Hartree-Fock implementations are discussed and implemented numerically. As with many grid based methods, describing both tightly bound and diffuse orbitals is challenging so we have considered augmenting the Wilson basis set as projected Slater-type orbitals. We have also compared the Wilson basis set against the recently introduced wavelet transformed Gaussians (gausslets). Throughout, we give comments on the implementation and use small atoms and molecules to illustrate convergence properties of the Wilson basis.
