Popis: The screened ''exact'' nonlocal exchange approach is applied to the calculation of magnetic susceptibility of transition metals, particularly to the calculation of spin-wave dispersion. We discuss the choice of an appropriate approach and aspects of linear muffin-tin orbital-atomic sphere approximation (ASA) calculations, in particular calculation of the Green function in the three-center approximation. We calculated transverse spin-wave frequencies in Fe with the local density approximation and with the nonlocal functional using both the ''frozen'' magnon method and calculation of bound state energies (corresponding to spin-wave excitations).
