This paper discusses the GW+DMFT method for electronic structure calculations in real compounds, focusing on its application in semiconductors, f-metals, and transition metal oxides. It compares the GW approach and the DMFT approach in terms of their effectiveness and provides examples of their application in calculating the energy dependence of effective interaction and in determining the band gap in semiconductors. The paper also discusses the convergence of the self-energy in real space and the methods for solving the DMFT equations. Supported by NSF and DOE.
