We propose a simple analytic representation of the correlation energy ϵ c for the two‐dimensional electron gas, as a function of the density parameter r s and the spin polarization ζ. This new parametrization includes most of the known high‐ and low‐density limits and fits our new fixed‐node diffusion Monte Carlo simulations, performed for a wide range of electron densities (1 ≤ r s ≤ 40) and spin‐polarization states (0 ≤ ζ ≤ 1). In this way we provide a reliable local‐spin‐density energy functional for two‐dimensional systems. The corresponding correlation potential is discussed and compared with previous models. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2003
