time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT)

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.TT07484
Methods for computing accurate excitation energies at a low computational cost in large molecular species within the time-dependent scheme and the density functional theory. It is the only available DFT-based method for computing electronic excitation energies.
