In our study on initial guesses in J. Chem. Phys. 152, 144105 (2020), we examined the importance of including correlation in the guess potential. However, we found out that the correlation functional only plays a minor importance, and that it also can sometimes lead to unexpected results; as far as I remember, the correlated potentials were sometimes more shallow than those obtained from an exchange only calculation.
This PR removes the correlation contribution from the initial guess.
