  Electronic correlation energies from the random-phase approximation converge
slowly with respect to the plane wave basis set size. We study the conditions,
under which a short-range local density functional can be used to account for
the basis set incompleteness error. Furthermore, we propose a one-shot
extrapolation scheme based on the Lindhard response function of the homogeneous
electron gas. The different basis set correction methods are used to calculate
equilibrium lattice constants for prototypical solids of different bonding
types.
