Solving the single-impurity Anderson model is a basic problem of solid state physics. The single-impurity Anderson model is very important, at present it is also used for systems with quantum impurities, e.g. semiconductor quantum dots and molecular transistors. Its main application is in the scheme of dynamical mean field theory describing strong correlation electron systems. To solve the single-impurity Anderson model problem we use the equation of motion Green function approach. In this report we present the novel equation of motion approximation in which we differentiate the Green function over both time variables. This differs from the commonly used equation of motion solution by Appelbaum, Penn and Lacroix where the authors take time derivative only over primary time variable. After extending calculations to higher order Green functions we find the new approximate dynamical solution of single-impurity Anderson model. The results are compared with the solutions to the single-impurity Anderson model problem at intermediate Coulomb repulsion U such as the modified iterative perturbation theory. Our approach is suitable for describing quantum dots.
