Abstract

We point out an issue in the derivation of a nonempirical parameter in the Wu-Cohen exchange functional. With the value of the parameter that yields the correct fourth-order gradient expansion of the functional, the performance of the Wu-Cohen exchange functional is worse than the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional.
