  We investigate an extension of excited state mean-field theory in which the
energy expression is augmented with density functional components in an effort
to include the effects of weak electron correlations. The approach remains
variational and entirely time-independent, allowing it to avoid some of the
difficulties associated with linear response and the adiabatic approximation.
In particular, all of the electrons' orbitals are relaxed state specifically
and there is no reliance on Kohn-Sham orbital energy differences, both of which
are important features in the context of charge transfer. Preliminary testing
shows clear advantages for single-component charge transfer states, but the
method, at least in its current form, is less reliable for states in which
multiple particle-hole transitions contribute significantly.
