 Orbital optimization techniques at the SCI level are theoretically straightforward, but practically challenging.
+Most of the technology presented here has been borrowed from complete-active-space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) methods \cite{Werner_1980,Werner_1985,Sun_2017,Kreplin_2019,Kreplin_2020} but one of the strength of SCI methods is that one does not need to select an active space and to classify orbitals as active, inactive, and virtual orbitals.
 Here, we detail our orbital optimization procedure within the CIPSI algorithm and we assume that the variational wave function is normalized, \ie, $\braket*{\Psivar}{\Psivar} = 1$.
 
 As stated in Sec.~\ref{sec:intro}, $\Evar$ depends on both the CI coefficients $\{ c_I \}_{1 \le I \le \Ndet}$ [see Eq.~\eqref{eq:Psivar}] but also on the orbital rotation parameters $\{\kappa_{pq}\}_{1 \le p,q \le \Norb}$.
-Here, motivated by cost saving arguments, we have chosen to optimize separately the CI and orbital coefficients by alternatively diagonalizing the CI matrix after each selection step and then rotating the orbitals until the variational energy for a given number of determinants is minimal.

 Microiterations are stopped when a stationary point is found, \ie, $\norm{\bg}_\infty < \tau$, where $\tau$ is a user-defined threshold which has been set to $10^{-3}$ a.u.~in the present study, and a new CIPSI selection step is performed.
 Note that a tight convergence is not critical here as a new set of microiterations is performed at each macroiteration and a new production CIPSI run is performed from scratch using the final set of orbitals.
-It is also worth pointing out that, after each orbital rotation, the one- and two-electron integrals defined in Eqs.~\eqref{eq:one} and \eqref{eq:two} have to be updated for the next iteration.

 To enhance the convergence of the microiteration process, we employ a variant of the Newton-Raphson method known as ``trust region''. \cite{Nocedal_1999}
-This popular variant defines a region where the quadratic approximation \eqref{eq:EvarTaylor} is an adequate representation of the objective energy function \eqref{eq:Evar_c_k} and it evolves during the optimization process in order to preserve the adequacy via a constraint on the step size preventing it from overstepping, \ie, $\norm{\bk^{(\ell+1)}} \leq \Delta^{(\ell)}$, where $\Delta^{(\ell)}$ is the trust radius at the $\ell$th microiteration.

+We first study the convergence of the CIPSI correlation energy $\Delta \Evar = \Evar - \EHF$ (where $\EHF$ is the HF energy) as a function of the number of determinants.
 Our motivation here is to generate FCI-quality reference correlation energies for the twelve cyclic molecules represented in Fig.~\ref{fig:mol} in order to benchmark, in a second time, the performance and convergence properties of various mainstream MP and CC methods (see Sec.~\ref{sec:mpcc_res}).
 For the natural and optimized orbital sets, we report, in Fig.~\ref{fig:vsNdet}, the evolution of the variational correlation energy $\Delta \Evar$ and its perturbatively corrected value $\Delta \Evar + \EPT$ with respect to the number of determinants for each cyclic molecule.

 As mentioned in Sec.~\ref{sec:compdet}, although both sets break the spatial symmetry to take advantage of the local nature of electron correlation, optimized orbitals further improve on the use of localized orbitals.
 More quantitatively, optimized orbitals produce the same variational energy as localized orbitals with, roughly, a ten-fold reduction in the number of determinants.
 A similar improvement is observed going from natural to localized orbitals.
