However, it is based on a rather simple model (the Hubbard dimer) which permits to analytically solve the dynamical equations. In the present study, we extend the work of Rohlfing and coworkers \cite{Rohlfing_2000,Ma_2009} by proposing a renormalized first-order perturbative correction to the static neutral excitation energy.
