+Following the idea of orthogonalized planewaves leads to the pseudopotential idea, which --- in describing only the valence electrons --- effectively removes an undesriable subspace from the investigated problem.

+Let $\ket{\Psi_\text{V}}$ be the wavefunction of a valence electron with the Schr\"odinger equation
+\begin{equation}
+H \ket{\Psi_\text{V}} = \left(\frac{1}{2m}p^2+V\right)\ket{\Psi_\text{V}}=
+E\ket{\Psi_\text{V}} \text{ .}

+\subsubsection{Semilocal form of the pseudopotential}
+
+Ionic potentials, which are spherically symmteric, suggest to treat each angular momentum $l,m$ separately leading to $l$-dependent non-local (NL) model potentials $V_l(r)$ and a total potential
+\begin{equation}
+V=\sum_{l,m}\ket{lm}V_l(r)\bra{lm} \text{ .}
+\end{equation}
+In fact, applied to a function, the potential turns out to be non-local in the angular coordinates but local in the radial variable, which suggests to call it asemilocal (SL) potential.
