Abstract
We review state-of-the-art electronic structure methods based both on wave function theory (WFT) and density functional theory (DFT). Strengths and limitations of both the wave function and density functional based approaches are discussed, and modern attempts to combine these two methods are presented. The challenges in modeling excited-state chemistry using both single-reference and multireference methods are described. Topics covered include background, combining density functional theory with single-configuration wave function theory, generalized Kohn-Sham (KS) theory, global hybrids, range-separated hybrids, local hybrids, using KS orbitals in many-body theory (including calculations of the self-energy and the GW approximation), Bethe-Salpeter equation, algorithms to accelerate GW calculations, combining DFT with multiconfigurational WFT, orbital-dependent correlation functionals based on multiconfigurational WFT, building multiconfigurational wave functions from KS configurations, adding correlation functionals to multiconfiguration self-consistent-field (MCSCF) energies, combining DFT with configuration-interaction singles by means of time-dependent DFT, using range separation to combine DFT with MCSCF, embedding multiconfigurational WFT in DFT, and multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory.

Abstract
A new ab initio valence bond method with density-functional-based correlation correction, so-called DFVB, is presented. In the DFVB method, the dynamic correlation energy is taken into account by use of density correlation functional(s), while the static correlation energy is covered by the VBSCF wave function. Owing to incorporation of DFT methods, DFVB provides an economic route to improving the accuracy of ab initio VB theory. Various tests of the method are presented, including the spectroscopic parameters of a series of diatomic molecules, the dipole moments of the NF molecule for different electronic states, and the singlet-triplet gaps of the diradical species, chemical reactions barriers, and total charge-shift resonance energies. These tests show that DFVB is capable of providing high accuracy with relatively low computational cost by comparison to the currently existing post-VBSCF methods.
