The exchange-energy density of a HEG is known analytically. The LDA for exchange employs this expression under the approximation that the exchange-energy in a system where the density in not homogeneous, is obtained by applying the HEG results pointwise, yielding the expression<ref name="parryang">{{cite book|last=Parr|first=Robert G|coauthors=Yang, Weitao|title=Density-Functional Theory of Atoms and Molecules|publisher=Oxford University Press|___location=Oxford |year=1994|isbn=978-0-19-509276-9}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Dirac|first=P.

Accurate [[quantum Monte Carlo]] simulations for the energy of the HEG have been performed for several intermediate values of the density, in turn providing accurate values of the correlation energy density.<ref>{{cite journal | title = Ground State of the Electron Gas by a Stochastic Method | author = D.

Various approaches, using different analytic forms for ''ε''<sub>c</sub>, have generated several LDA's for the correlation functional, including

For the exchange energy, the exact result (not just for local density approximations) is known in terms of the spin-unpolarized functional<ref>{{cite journal|last=Oliver|first=G.

<math>\alpha\,</math> and <math>\beta\,</math> spin densities whereas <math>\zeta = \pm 1</math> corresponds to the ferromagnetic situation where one spin density vanishes. The spin correlation energy density for a given values of the total density and relative polarization, ''ε''<sub>c</sub>(''ρ'',''ς''), is constructed so to interpolate the extreme values. Several forms have been developed in conjunction with LDA correlation functionals.<ref name="vwn"/><ref>{{cite journal|last=von Barth|first=U.|coauthors=Hedin, L.|year=1972|title=A local exchange-correlation potential for the spin polarized case|journal=J.
