DFT+U is a cheap but rather rough approximation of HF.<br>
Beside this, there is also the difference that in DFT+U, the Coulomb<br>
operator is attenuated in order to account for the screening due to<br>
correlation. In HF, no correlation is included.<br>
In hybrids, the screening is included by using only ~25% of HF exchange<br>
(and there is also correlation coming from a LDA/GGA correlation term).<br>
<br>
Hybrid, onsite-hybrid and DFT+U are more or less the same,<br>
since all of them are one-electron methods and mix HF with LDA/GGA.<br>
As Karel said, they are better than LDA/GGA, but can not reproduce<br>
the experimental observations that are beyond the one-electron methods.<br>
DMFT is better since it is a beyond one-electrons method.<br>

Dear Fabien Tran and Karel Vyborny,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your comments.<br>
<br>
<br>
What I want to know is if the Hartree Fock exchange is what the Hubbard U is<br>
trying to model<br>
<br>
What I know is that for strong intraatomic repulsion, 3d and 4f, the Hubbard<br>
U gives good results, although the U is a parameter.<br>
<br>
But for intermediate intraatomic repulsion, 4d, 5d, 5f then more expensive<br>
methods are needed, such as DMFT<br>
<br>
So, if this is the case that the Hartree Fock exchange is what the Hubbard U<br>
is trying to model then the hybrid functionals would do a better job.<br>
<br>
So, my question is; What are the Hubbard U and DMFT trying to model?<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
