Abstract
⺠GGA+U implementation lead us to describe correctly the relativistic effect on 4f electrons for CeO2. ⺠Inclusion of the Hubbard-U parameter & spin-orbit coupling is responsible for ferromagnetic insulating of PrO2 and TbO2. ⺠Elastic constants calculation proves the mechanical stability of CeO2, PrO2 and TbO2. ⺠The electronic structure description shows that these compounds are stable in ferromagnetic phases.
