When one relies on MP perturbation theory (and more generally on any perturbative partitioning), it would be reasonable to ask for a systematic improvement of the energy with respect to the perturbative order, \ie, one would expect that the more terms of the perturbative series one can compute, the closer the result from the exact energy.
In other words, one would like a monotonic convergence of the MP series. Assuming this, the only limiting process to get the exact correlation energy (in a finite basis set) would be our ability to compute the terms of this perturbation series.
Unfortunately this is not as easy as one might think because i) the terms of the perturbative series become rapidly computationally cumbersome, and ii) erratic behaviour of the perturbative coefficients are not uncommon. For example, in the late 80's, Gill and Radom reported deceptive and slow convergences in stretched systems \cite{Gill_1986,Gill_1988} (see also Refs.~\onlinecite{Handy_1985, Lepetit_1988}).

In Ref.~\onlinecite{Gill_1986}, the authors showed that the RMP series is convergent, yet oscillatory which is far from being convenient if one is only able to compute the first few terms of the expansion.
For example, in the case of the barrier to homolytic fission of \ce{He2^2+} in a minimal basis set, RMP5 is worse than RMP4 (see Fig.~2 in Ref.~\onlinecite{Gill_1986}).
On the other hand, the UMP series is monotonically convergent after UMP5 but very slowly .
@ -704,6 +704,7 @@ The reasons behind this ambiguous behaviour are further explained below.
In the unrestricted framework the singlet ground state wave function is allowed to mix with triplet wave functions, leading to the so-called spin contamination issue. Gill \textit{et al.}~highlighted the link between slow convergence of the UMP series and spin contamination for \ce{H2} in a minimal basis. \cite{Gill_1988}
Handy and coworkers reported the same behaviour of the UMP series (oscillatory and slowly monotonically convergent) in stretched \ce{H2O} and \ce{NH2}. \cite{Handy_1985} Lepetit \textit{et al.}~analysed the difference between the MP and EN partitioning for the UHF reference. \cite{Lepetit_1988}
They concluded that the slow convergence of the UMP series is due to i) the fact that the MP denominator (see Eq.~\ref{eq:EMP2}) tends to a constant instead of vanishing, and ii) the lack of the singly-excited configurations (which only appears at fourth order) that strongly couple to the doubly-excited configurations.
We believe that this divergent behaviour might therefore be attributed to the need for the single excitations to focus on correcting the structure of the reference orbitals rather than capturing the correlation energy.
Cremer and He analysed 29 atomic and molecular systems at the FCI level \cite{Cremer_1996} and grouped them in two classes: i) the \textit{class A} systems where one observes a monotonic convergence \titou{of the RMP series?} to the FCI energy, and ii) the \textit{class B} systems for which convergence is erratic after initial oscillations.
Their system set contains stretched molecules as well as molecules at their equilibrium geometry for various basis sets.

These numerical values reveal that the UMP ground state series has $\rc > 1$ for all $U/t$ and must always converge.
