 +This chapter describes three different programs that are related to Kohn-Sham based RPA correlation methods. The first one is the density fitting RPA program of Heßelmann et al. described in section [[Kohn-Sham random-phase approximation#Density fitting RPA programs|Density fitting RPA programs]]. The second one is the ''RPATDDFT'' program by Toulouse et al., see section  [[Kohn-Sham random-phase approximation#Random-phase approximation (RPATDDFT) program|Random-phase approximation (RPATDDFT) program]]. And finally section [[Kohn-Sham random-phase approximation#Self consistent RPA programs|Self consistent RPA programs]] presents a set of programs which can be used to perform self consistent EXX and RPA calculations developed by Trushkin and Görling.
 +
 +All of the different codes are capable to perform standard RPA correlation energy calculations, but have distinct features which separate them from each other. More details about each program's capabilities can be found in the respective subsections.
 +===== Density fitting RPA programs =====
  
 Electron correlation energies within the random-phase approximation can be calculated by the programs **DIRPA**, **RPAX2** and **ACFDT** that are subdirectives of the driver command **KSRPA**. These methods should be used in conjunction with Kohn-Sham reference determinants, i.e., orbitals and orbital energies from a preceeding DFT calculation should be supplied. An alterntive implementation of various RPA electron correlation methods by Julien Toulouse and co-workers is described in the subsection [[Kohn-Sham random-phase approximation#Random-phase approximation (RPATDDFT) program|Random-phase approximation (RPATDDFT) program]]. The second alternative implementation of RPA is based on the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation and is described in the subsection [[Kohn-Sham random-phase approximation#RIRPA program|RIRPA program]]. This implementation additionally allows calculations with σ-functionals, which at negligible computational cost significantly improves over RPA in the calculation of various chemical properties. Electron correlation energies within the random-phase approximation can be calculated by the programs **DIRPA**, **RPAX2** and **ACFDT** that are subdirectives of the driver command **KSRPA**.

 The ACFDT (adiabatic connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem) method is an alternative approach to derive the RPA. If used in conjunction with local adiabatic exchange-correlation kernels, the method can also describe electron-electron interaction contributions beyond the RPA. Currently, the ALDA xc-kernel can be used in the program (ACFDT(ALDA) method), see also Ref. [4].
