Test calculations on the Gd atom, Gd(2) molecule, and oxoMn(salen) complex show that GAS wave functions achieve the same accuracy as CAS wave functions on systems that would be prohibitive at the CAS level.
Abstract
A multiconfigurational self-consistent field method based on the concept of generalized active space (GAS) is presented. GAS wave functions are obtained by defining an arbitrary number of active spaces with arbitrary occupation constraints. By a suitable choice of the GAS spaces, numerous ineffective configurations present in a large complete active space (CAS) can be removed, while keeping the important ones in the CI space. As a consequence, the GAS self-consistent field approach retains the accuracy of the CAS self-consistent field (CASSCF) ansatz and, at the same time, can deal with larger active spaces, which would be unaffordable at the CASSCF level. Test calculations on the Gd atom, Gd2 molecule, and oxoMn(salen) complex are presented. They show that GAS wave functions achieve the same accuracy as CAS wave functions on systems that would be prohibitive at the CAS level.

A complete active space SCF method (CASSCF) using a density matrix formulated super-CI approach

TL;DR: In this article, a density matrix formulation of the super-CI MCSCF method is presented, where the MC expansion is assumed to be complete in an active subset of the orbital space, and the corresponding CI problem is solved by a direct scheme using the unitary group approach.

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.
