Is it possible to improve the theoretical description of second-harmonic generation in semiconductors using TDDFT and accurate long-range corrected exchange-correlation kernels? Or do we need frequency dependent kernels or kernels specific for the second-order nonlinear optical response? Can hybrid functionals help to describe optical properties of semiconductors?
