Momentum dependent local-ansatz (MLA) wavefunction describes accurately electron correlations from the weak to intermediate Coulomb interaction regimes. We point out that the MLA can describe the correlations from the weak to strong Coulomb interaction regimes by modifying the starting wavefunction from the Hartree-Fock (HF) type to an alloy-analogy (AA) type wavefunction. Numerical results based on the half-filled band Hubbard model on the hypercubic lattice in infinite dimensions show up that the new wavefunction yields the ground-state energy lower than the Gutzwiller wavefunction (GW) in the whole Coulomb interaction regime. Calculated double occupation number is smaller than the result of the GW in the metallic regime, and is finite in the insulator regime. Furthermore, the momentum distribution shows a distinct momentum-dependence in both the metallic and insulator regions, which are qualitatively different from those of the GW.
