| The semilocal LDA and GGA functionals often fail to describe systems with localized (strongly correlated) ''d'' and ''f''-electrons (this manifests itself primarily in the form of unrealistic one-electron energies and too small magnetic moments). In some cases this can be remedied by introducing a strong intra-atomic interaction in a (screened) Hartree-Fock like manner, as an on-site replacement of the semilocal functional. This approach is commonly known as the DFT+U method. Setting {{TAG|LDAU}}=.TRUE. in the {{FILE|INCAR}} file switches on DFT+U. | | The following variants of the [[DFT+U: formalism|DFT+U approach]] are available: |
| The first VASP DFT+U calculations, including some additional technical details on the VASP implementation, can be found in Ref. <ref name="rohrbach:jcp:03"/> (the original implementation was done by Olivier Bengone <ref name="Bengone:prb:00"/> and Georg Kresse).

| '''Warning''': it is important to be aware of the fact that when using the L(S)DA+U, in general the total energy will depend on the parameters <math>U</math> and <math>J</math> ({{TAG|LDAUU}} and {{TAG|LDAUJ}}, respectively). It is therefore not meaningful to compare the total energies resulting from calculations with different <math>U</math> and/or <math>J</math>, or <math>U-J</math> and in case of Dudarev's approach ({{TAG|LDAUTYPE}}=2).

| '''Note on bandstructure calculation''': the {{FILE|CHGCAR}} file contains only information up to angular momentum quantum number <math>\ell</math>={{TAG|LMAXMIX}} for the [[LDAUTYPE#occmat|on-site PAW occupancy matrices]]. When the {{FILE|CHGCAR}} file is read and kept fixed in the course of the calculations ({{TAG|ICHARG}}=11), the results will be necessarily not identical to a selfconsistent run. The deviations are often large for L(S)DA+U calculations. For the calculation of band structures within the L(S)DA+U approach, it is hence strictly required to increase {{TAG|LMAXMIX}} to 4 (<math>d</math> elements) and 6 (<math>f</math> elements).
