A new formula for estimating the size-consistency error in double-excitation CI calculations is suggested. A generalization to the case of multi-reference CID calculations is also proposed. Both corrections are tested on H20, BeH2 and the model H8 for which full-C1 comparisons are available.

β¦ Synopsis
The four-electron unlinked-cluster contribution to the correlation ener,g of a many-electron atom or molecule is derived for a CI wavefunction composed of a reference determinant and all double excitations from the reference determinant. The resulting formula is valid for small to moderate nambers of electrons, and yields a resuIt of zero for twoand three-electron states For moderate and large numbers of electrons, the formula is very similar to Davidson's

The recently proposed stochastic diagonalization method is applied to the ab initio quantum chemistry configuration interaction problem. In this context it can be viewed as a multi-reference CI method with dynamic selection of important configurations. The method is compared with other methods and t
We present a method for the direct generation of the lists of Ε½ . strings, suited for integral-driven full-CI FCI algorithms. This method generates the string lists each time they are used, and hence sensibly reduces the memory requirements, compared to our previous method that precalculates the lis
Hartree-Fock-Slater program and a compatible box potential program are developed to generate complete basis sets for configuration interaction calculations using many-body perturbation theory. Several problems in previous methods are remedied. Examples are given for Pr 3~and Np3Δ©ons. Good orthogonal
