β¦ Synopsis
Several single-reference excited-state methods based on single and double substitutions are considered. Quadratic configuration interaction (QCISD) and coupled-cluster theory (CCSD) are obtained in a time-dependent linear response framework, together with the CISD method. The QCISD and CCSD transition energies are size consistent, and exact for two-electron systems. The relation between the QCISD and CCSD excited-state theories and ground-state gradient expressions is developed and employed. Calculations are reported for singlet and triplet excited states of some small molecules. CCSD and QCISD are qualitatively supcrior to CISD. Overall, CCSD exhibits noticeably better accuracy than QCISD, and the differences are sometimes much larger than for ground-state problems. A possible explanation is suggested.

A perturbative correction, termed RCIS (D), to restricted open shell single excitation configuration interaction (ROCIS) is formulated and implemented for excited states of radicals. RCIS(D) gives spin-pure energies (but not wavefunctions), is size-consistent, and has computational complexity scalin
A perturbative correction to the method of configuration interaction with single substitutions (CIS) is presented. This CIS( D) correction approximately introduces the effect of double substitutions which are absent in CIS excited states. CIS (D) is a secondorder perturbation expansion of the couple
