It is proposed that the calculation of non-dynamical electronic correlation effects by the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method can be extended by the inclusion of dynamical correlation effects through the use of a suitably modified single-reference coupled-cluster (CC) proced

✦ Synopsis
The nonlinear coupled-cluster (CC) equations possess several solutions. They describe various excited states as long as they contain a contribution from the reference function. We study the additional solutions of the single-reference CC equations and demonstrate that unlike the ground state, the approximate solution for excited states in general does not satisfy the cluster condition nor the standard proof of extensivity. For such states that makes the CC approximation poorer than that for the analogous CI.

Intermediate Hamiltonian techniques are used to investigate the problem of multiple solutions of the Fock-space coupled-cluster methods. Two intermediate Hamiitonian schemes are presented, based upon similarity transformations that unlike the wave operator formalism allow for following the complete
A scheme for stabilizing the reduced linear equation method of solving the single-reference coupled system of equations is developed and implemented. When one or more secondary determinants become as important as the primary determinant in describing the chemical system, numerical instabilities freq
It is demonstrated that standard single-reference coupled-cluster @R-CC) theories can be successfully applied to the studies of some excited states not belonging to the lowest energy in their symmetry class. The prerequisite of such applications is that a proper reference state configuration and orb
The convergence of coupled-cluster equations for several cases, CCD, CCSD, CCSDT-n and the full CCSDT is investigated. Comparisons are made between the reduced linear equation (RLE) method for accelerating convergence and simple geometric extrapolation techniques, and between energy and wavefunction
