Generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation hole of a many-electron system

We construct a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the density ${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{xc}}$(r,r+u) at position r+u of the exchange-correlation hole surrounding an electron at r, or more precisely for its system and spherical average 〈${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{xc}}$(u)〉=(4\ensuremath{\pi}${)}^{...
