A new formulation of the canonical transformation theory based on the extended normal ordering procedure of Mukherjee and Kutzelnigg is described, greatly improved both in accuracy and in cost over an earlier study as the result of a new numerical algorithm for solving the amplitude equations.
Abstract
The Canonical Transformation theory of Yanai and Chan [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 194106 (2006)] provides a rigorously size-extensive description of dynamical correlation in multireference problems. Here we describe a new formulation of the theory based on the extended normal ordering procedure of Mukherjee and Kutzelnigg [J. Chem. Phys. 107, 432 (1997)]. On studies of the water, nitrogen, and iron-oxide potential energy curves, the Linearised Canonical Transformation Singles and Doubles theory is competitive in accuracy with some of the best multireference methods, such as the Multireference Averaged Coupled Pair Functional, while computational timings (in the case of the iron-oxide molecule) are two-three orders of magnitude faster and comparable to those of Complete Active Space Second-Order Perturbation Theory. The results presented here are greatly improved both in accuracy and in cost over our earlier study as the result of a new numerical algorithm for solving the amplitude equations.

Second-order perturbation theory with a density matrix renormalization group self-consistent field reference function: theory and application to the study of chromium dimer

TL;DR: The DMRG-CASPT2/cc-pwCV5Z calculations were performed with a large (3d double-shell) active space consisting of 28 orbitals and addressed the problems of why the dissociation energy is largely overestimated by CASPT2, and also is oversensitive to the choice of the zeroth-order Hamiltonian.

A new internally contracted multi-reference configuration interaction method.

TL;DR: A new internally contracted multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI) method which, at the same time, efficiently handles large active orbital spaces, long configuration expansions, and many closed-shell orbitals in the reference function is presented.

Second-order perturbation theory with a CASSCF reference function

TL;DR: In this article, the second-order perturbation theory based on a CASSCF reference state is derived and implemented, where the first-order wave function includes the full space of interacting states and the zeroth-order Hamiltonian reduces to the MOller-Plesset Hamiltonian for a closed shell reference state.
