GW+U real-space Green's function calculations of x-ray spectra
  The Hubbard model is implemented in real-space Green's function calculations of x-ray spectra using an effective self-energy adapted from the LSDA+U method of Anisimov et al. This self-energy consists of an energy-dependent many-pole approximation to the GW self-energy with an additive correction due to on-site Coulomb repulsion among the partially filled localized-electron states. This leads to a GW+U approach which provides an efficient procedure to account for local correlation effects on x-ray spectra. Results are presented for the spin and angular momentum projected density of states of MnO, NiO, and La_(2-x)Sr_xCuO_4 (LSCO), for the K-edge x-ray spectra of O atoms in MnO and NiO, and the unoccupied electronic states and O K-edge spectra of undoped LSCO. The method is found to yield reasonable agreement with experiment.
