Dear Guangping Zhang,

If I've understood correctly, none of the Siesta functionals are hybrids by default - unless this has been changed in the newest release. The LYP functional is the same as BLYP (ie. not B3LYP) and PBE is not the same as PBE1PBE in Gaussian 03 (although the reference is the same). You can, however, construct the PBE1PBE hybrid functional using the XC.hybrid data block. According to the Gaussian 03 manual, this hybrid uses 25% and 75% correlation weighing and so defining the hybrid functional should be pretty straightforward.

I wonder to know if the hybrid functional LYP is equal to B3LYP in Guassian 03.
 I know PBE in siesta is the same with PBE1PBE in Guassian 03.

Thanks in advance!
