Abstract

It is shown that the utilization of an average occupation number for open shell orbitals, having different occupation numbers in a degenerate wave function, tantamounts to disregard first order contributions in a CI‐type expansion of the wave function. These contributions are taken into account in a SCF process that derives the differently occupied open shell orbitals as eigenfunctions of different Fock‐type operators and accounts for the total symmetry.
