DFT+U+V is equivalent to DFT+U with density-dependent hybridized projectors

Hubbard-corrected density-functional theory (DFT+$U$) is a popular tool for first-principles modeling of materials with localized $d$ or $f$ electrons, but its on-site corrections tend to over-localize charge and break covalent bonds.

Hubbard-corrected density-functional theory (DFT+$U$) is a popular tool for first-principles modeling of materials with localized $d$ or $f$ electrons, but its on-site corrections tend to over-localize charge and break covalent bonds. Inter-site $+V$ corrections were introduced…
