A suite of physically motivated coupled electron-pair approximations (SS-MRCEPA) like methods, which are designed to capture the essential strength of the parent SS-MRCC method without significant sacrificing its accuracy, are suggested and explored.
Abstract
The traditional multireference (MR) coupled-cluster (CC) methods based on the effective Hamiltonian are often beset by the problem of intruder states, and are not suitable for studying potential energy surface (PES) involving real or avoided curve crossing. State-specific MR-based approaches obviate this limitation. The state-specific MRCC (SS-MRCC) method developed some years ago [Mahapatra et al., J. Chem. Phys. 110, 6171 (1999)] can handle quasidegeneracy of varying degrees over a wide range of PES, including regions of real or avoided curve-crossing. Motivated by its success, we have suggested and explored in this paper a suite of physically motivated coupled electron-pair approximations (SS-MRCEPA) like methods, which are designed to capture the essential strength of the parent SS-MRCC method without significant sacrificing its accuracy. These SS-MRCEPA theories, like their CC counterparts, are based on complete active space, treat all the reference functions on the same footing and provide a descrip...

High-order excitations in state-universal and state-specific multireference coupled cluster theories: model systems.

TL;DR: High-order excitations have been studied in three multireference couple cluster theories built on the wave operator formalism and the BW and Mk methods are found to provide more accurate results than the state-universal SU approach at all levels of truncation of the cluster operator.

A full coupled‐cluster singles and doubles model: The inclusion of disconnected triples

TL;DR: The coupled cluster singles and doubles model (CCSD) as discussed by the authors is derived algebraically, presenting the full set of equations for a general reference function explicitly in spin-orbital form, and the computational implementation of the CCSD model, which involves cubic and quartic terms, is discussed and results are compared with full CI calculations for H2O and BeH2.
