We propose a generalization of the LDA + DMFT + {Sigma}{sub k} approach to the multiband case, in which correlated and uncorrelated states are present in the model simultaneously. Using the multiband version of the LDA + DMFT + {Sigma}{sub k} approach, we calculate the density of states and spectral functions for the Emery model in a wide energy interval around the Fermi level. We also obtain the Fermi surfaces for the electron-doped high-temperature superconductor Nd{sub 2-x}Ce{sub x}CuO{sub 4} in the pseudogap phase. The self-energy part {Sigma}{sub k} introduced additionally to take into account pseudogap fluctuations describes the nonlocal interaction of correlated electrons with collective Heisenberg short-range spin fluctuations. To solve the effective impurity model, the numerical renorm-group (NRG) method is used for the DMFT equations. Good qualitative agreement of the Fermi surfaces calculated using the LDA + DMFT + {Sigma}{sub k} approach and experimental angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopic data is attained. The stability of the dielectric solution with charge transfer in the Emery model with correction for double counting is analyzed in the Appendix.
