Local spin density approximation to the density functional theory
have been highly successful for electronic structure calculations
and zero tempetarure magnetic properties of non-correlated
systems. We discuss some failure of the LSDA-scheme for the spin,
charge, and orbital effects in the bulk and surface of transition
metal systems. Starting from general formulation of LDA+U
approach with local Coulomb correlations for d- or f- ions the
different ways to go beyond the mean-field approximation which
includes in effects of the spin- and charge-fluctuations have
been analyzed. Dynamical mean field theory which takes into
account a frequency dependence of the self energy have been
combine with the first-principle scheme. The calculated
quasiparticle spectrum of magnetic transition metal systems shows
an important correlation effects. Some problems of itinerant
magnetism [1], electronic structure of transition metal oxides
[2], dimensional crossover in quasi one-dimensional systems [3]
and non-quasiparticle states in the half-metallic ferromagnets
will be discussed [4].
