Accurately predicting ground- and excited-state energies (hence excitation energies) is particularly valuable in this context, and it has concentrated most of the efforts within the community. An armada of theoretical and computational methods have been developed to this end, each of them being plagued by its own flaws. @@ -176,10 +180,14 @@ More importantly here, although EPs usually lie off the real axis, these singula \label{fig:TopologyEP} \end{figure} +\subsection{An illustrative example} + %============================================================% \section{Perturbation theory} %============================================================% +\subsection{Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation theory} + Within (time-independent) Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation theory, the Schr\"odinger equation \begin{equation} \label{eq:SchrEq} \bH \Psi = E \Psi @@ -203,25 +211,60 @@ This is due to the following theorem \cite{Goodson_2012}: \begin{quote} \textit{``The Taylor series about a point $z_0$ of a function over the complex $z$ plane will converge at a value $z_1$ if the function is non-singular at all values of $z$ in the circular region centered at $z_0$ with radius $\abs{z_1 − z_0}$.

To illustrate this result we consider the simple function \eqref{eq:DivExample}. This function is smooth for $x \in \mathbb{R}$ and infinitely differentiable in $\mathbb{R}$. One would expect that the Taylor series of such a function would be convergent for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, however this series is divergent for $x\geq1$. This is because the function has four singularities in the complex plane ($x = e^{i\pi/4}, e^{-i\pi/4}, e^{i3\pi/4}, e^{-i3\pi/4}$) with a modulus equal to 1. This simple example shows the importance of the singularities in the complex plane to understand the convergence properties on the real axis. -The discovery of a partitioning of the Hamiltonian that allowed chemists to recover a part of the correlation energy (i.e. the difference between the exact energy and the Hartree-Fock energy) using perturbation theory has been a major step in the development of post-Hartree-Fock methods. This case of the Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory is called the M{\o}ller-Plesset perturbation theory \cite{Moller_1934}. In the MPPT the unperturbed Hamiltonian is the sum of the $n$ mono-electronic Fock operators which are the sum of the one-electron core Hamiltonian $h(i)$, the Coulomb $J_j(i)$ and Exchange $K_j(i)$ operators. - -\begin{equation} -H_0= \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} f(i) +\begin{equation} \label{eq:DivExample} +f(x)=\frac{1}{1+x^4} \end{equation} -\begin{equation} -f(i) = h(i) + \sum\limits_{j=1,j \neq i}^{n} \left[J_j(i) - K_j(i)\right] +\subsection{The Hartree-Fock Hamiltonian} + +In the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, the equation \eqref{eq:ExactHamiltonian} gives the exact electronic Hamiltonian for a chemical system with $n$ electrons and $N$ nuclei.
