\section{Theory}
\label{sec:theory}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%Let us assume that we have reasonable approximations of the FCI energy and density of a $\Ne$-electron system in an incomplete basis set $\Bas$, say the CCSD(T) energy $\E{\CCSDT}{\Bas}$ and the Hartree-Fock (HF) density $\n{\HF}{\Bas}$.
%According to Eq.~(15) of Ref.~\citenum{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}, the exact ground-state energy $\E{}{}$ may be approximated as
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:e0basis}
% \titou{\E{}{}
% \approx \E{\CCSDT}{\Bas}
% + \bE{}{\Bas}[\n{\HF}{\Bas}],}
%\end{equation}
%where
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:E_funcbasis}
% \bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]
% = \min_{\wf{}{} \to \n{}{}} \mel*{\wf{}{}}{\hT + \hWee{}}{\wf{}{}}
% - \min_{\wf{}{\Bas} \to \n{}{}} \mel*{\wf{}{\Bas}}{\hT + \hWee{}}{\wf{}{\Bas}}
%\end{equation}
%is the basis-dependent complementary density functional, $\hT$ is the kinetic operator and $\hWee{} = \sum_{i<j} r_{ij}^{-1}$ is the interelectronic repulsion operator.
%In Eq.~\eqref{eq:E_funcbasis}, $\wf{}{\Bas}$ and $\wf{}{}$ are two general $\Ne$-electron normalized wave functions belonging to the Hilbert space spanned by $\Bas$ and the complete basis set (CBS), respectively.
%Both wave functions yield the same target density $\n{}{}$ (assumed to be representable in $\Bas$).
%Importantly, in the CBS limit (which we refer to as $\Bas \to \CBS$), we have, for any density $\n{}{}$, $\lim_{\Bas \to \CBS} \bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}] = 0$.
%This implies that
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:limitfunc}
% \titou{\lim_{\Bas \to \CBS} \qty( \E{\CCSDT}{\Bas} + \bE{}{\Bas}[\n{\HF}{\Bas}] ) = \E{\CCSDT}{\CBS} \approx \E{}{},}
%\end{equation}
%where \titou{$\E{\CCSDT}{\CBS}$ is the $\CCSDT$ energy} in the CBS limit.
%Of course, the above holds true for any method that provides a good approximation to the energy and density, not just CCSD(T) and HF.
%In the case where \titou{$\CCSDT$ is replaced by $\FCI$} in Eq.~\eqref{eq:limitfunc}, we have a strict equality as $\E{\FCI}{\CBS} = \E{}{}$.
%Provided that the functional $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ is known exactly, the only sources of error at this stage lie in the approximate nature of the $\CCSDT$ and $\HF$ methods, and the lack of self-consistency of the present scheme.
%
%The functional $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ is obviously \textit{not} universal as it depends on $\Bas$.
%Moreover, as $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ aims at fixing the incompleteness of $\Bas$, its main role is to correct
%for the lack of cusp (i.e.~discontinuous derivative) in $\wf{}{\Bas}$ at the e-e coalescence points, a universal condition of exact wave functions.
%Because the e-e cusp originates from the divergence of the Coulomb operator at $r_{12} = 0$, a cuspless wave function could equivalently originate from a Hamiltonian with a non-divergent two-electron interaction at coalescence.
%Therefore, as we shall do later on, it feels natural to approximate $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ by a short-range density functional which is complementary to a non-divergent long-range interaction.
%Contrary to the conventional RS-DFT scheme which requires a range-separation \textit{parameter} $\rsmu{}{}$, here we use a range-separation \textit{function} $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ that automatically adapts to quantify the incompleteness of $\Bas$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
%
%The first step of the present basis-set correction consists in obtaining an effective two-electron interaction $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ ``mimicking'' the Coulomb operator in an incomplete basis $\Bas$.
%In a second step, we shall link $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ to $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$.
%As a final step, we employ short-range density functionals \cite{TouGorSav-TCA-05} with $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ as range-separation function.
%
%We define the effective operator as \cite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:def_weebasis}
% \W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}) =
% \begin{cases}
% \f{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})/\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}), & \text{if $\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}) \ne 0$,}
% \\
% \infty, & \text{otherwise,}
% \end{cases}
%\end{equation}
%where
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:n2basis}
% \n{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})
% = \sum_{pqrs \in \Bas} \SO{p}{1} \SO{q}{2} \Gam{pq}{rs} \SO{r}{1} \SO{s}{2},
%\end{equation}
%and $\Gam{pq}{rs} = 2 \mel*{\wf{}{\Bas}}{ \aic{r_\downarrow}\aic{s_\uparrow}\ai{p_\uparrow}\ai{q_\downarrow}}{\wf{}{\Bas}}$ are the opposite-spin pair density associated with $\wf{}{\Bas}$ and its corresponding tensor, respectively, $\SO{p}{}$ is a (real-valued) molecular orbital (MO),
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:fbasis}
% \f{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})
% = \sum_{pqrstu \in \Bas} \SO{p}{1} \SO{q}{2} \V{pq}{rs} \Gam{rs}{tu} \SO{t}{1} \SO{u}{2},
%\end{equation}
%and $\V{pq}{rs}=\langle pq | rs \rangle$ are the usual two-electron Coulomb integrals.
%With such a definition, $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ satisfies (see Appendix A of Ref.~\citenum{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18})
%\begin{equation}
% \iint \frac{ \n{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})}{r_{12}} \dbr{1} \dbr{2} =
% \iint \W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}) \n{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}) \dbr{1} \dbr{2},
%\end{equation}
%which intuitively motivates $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ as a potential candidate for an effective interaction.
%Note that the divergence condition of $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ in Eq.~\eqref{eq:def_weebasis} ensures that one-electron systems are free of correction as the present approach must only correct the basis-set incompleteness error originating from the e-e cusp.
%As already discussed in Ref.~\citenum{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}, $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ is symmetric, \textit{a priori} non translational, nor rotational invariant if $\Bas$ does not have such symmetries.
%Thanks to its definition one can show that (see Appendix B of Ref.~\citenum{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18})
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:lim_W}
% \lim_{\Bas \to \CBS}\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}) = \frac{1}{r_{12}},
%\end{equation}
%for any $(\br{1},\br{2})$ such that $\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}) \ne 0$.
%A key quantity is the value of the effective interaction at coalescence of opposite-spin electrons, $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{},{\br{}})$,
%which is necessarily \textit{finite} for an incomplete basis set as long as the on-top pair density $\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{})$ is non vanishing.
%Because $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ is a non-divergent two-electron interaction, it can be naturally linked to RS-DFT which employs a non-divergent long-range interaction operator.
%Although this choice is not unique, we choose here the range-separation function
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:mu_of_r}
% \rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{}) = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2} \W{}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{}),
%\end{equation}
%such that the long-range interaction of RS-DFT, $\w{}{\lr,\mu}(r_{12}) = \erf( \mu r_{12})/r_{12}$, coincides with the effective interaction at coalescence, i.e.~$\w{}{\lr,\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})}(0) = \W{}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{})$ at any $\br{}$.
%Once $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ is defined, it can be used within RS-DFT functionals to approximate $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$.
%As in Ref.~\citenum{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}, we consider here a specific class of short-range correlation functionals known as correlation energy with multi-determinantal reference (ECMD) whose general definition reads \cite{TouGorSav-TCA-05}
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:ec_md_mu}
% \bE{\text{c,md}}{\sr}[\n{}{},\rsmu{}{}]
% = \min_{\wf{}{} \to \n{}{}} \mel*{\Psi}{\hT + \hWee{}}{\wf{}{}}
% - \mel*{\wf{}{\rsmu{}{}}[n]}{\hT + \hWee{}}{\wf{}{\rsmu{}{}}[n]},
%\end{equation}
%where $\wf{}{\rsmu{}{}}[n]$ is defined by the constrained minimization
%\begin{equation}
%\label{eq:argmin}
% \wf{}{\rsmu{}{}}[n] = \arg \min_{\wf{}{} \to \n{}{}} \mel*{\wf{}{}}{\hT + \hWee{\lr,\rsmu{}{}}}{\wf{}{}},
%\end{equation}
%with $\hWee{\lr,\rsmu{}{}} = \sum_{i<j} \w{}{\lr,\rsmu{}{}}(r_{ij})$.
%The ECMD functionals admit, for any $\n{}{}$, the following two limits
%\begin{align}
% \label{eq:large_mu_ecmd}
% \lim_{\mu \to \infty} \bE{\text{c,md}}{\sr}[\n{}{},\rsmu{}{}] & = 0,
% &
% \lim_{\mu \to 0} \bE{\text{c,md}}{\sr}[\n{}{},\rsmu{}{}] & = \Ec[\n{}{}],
%\end{align}
%where $\Ec[\n{}{}]$ is the usual universal correlation density functional defined in KS-DFT.
%The choice of ECMD in the present scheme is motivated by the analogy between the definition of $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ [Eq.~\eqref{eq:E_funcbasis}] and the ECMD functional [Eq.~\eqref{eq:ec_md_mu}].
%Indeed, the two functionals coincide if $\wf{}{\Bas} = \wf{}{\rsmu{}{}}$.
%Therefore, we approximate $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ by ECMD functionals evaluated with the range-separation function $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$.
%The local-density approximation (LDA) of the ECMD complementary functional is defined as
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:def_lda_tot}
% \bE{\LDA}{\Bas}[\n{}{},\rsmu{}{\Bas}] = \int \n{}{}(\br{}) \be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\LDA}\qty(\n{}{}(\br{}),\zeta(\br{}),\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})) \dbr{},
%\end{equation}
%where $\zeta = (\n{\uparrow}{} - \n{\downarrow}{})/\n{}{}$ is the spin polarization and $\be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\LDA}(\n{}{},\zeta,\rsmu{}{})$ is the ECMD short-range correlation energy per electron of the uniform electron gas (UEG) \cite{LooGil-WIRES-16} parameterized in Ref.~\citenum{PazMorGorBac-PRB-06}.
%The short-range LDA correlation functional relies on the transferability of the physics of the UEG which is certainly valid for large $\mu$ but is known to over correlate for small $\mu$.
%In order to correct such a defect, inspired by the recent functional proposed by some of the authors~\cite{FerGinTou-JCP-18}, we propose here a new Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE)-based ECMD functional
%Inspired by the recent functional proposed by some of the authors~\cite{FerGinTou-JCP-18}, we propose here a new Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE)-based ECMD functional
%\begin{equation}
% \label{eq:def_pbe_tot}
% \bE{\PBE}{\Bas}[\n{}{},\rsmu{}{\Bas}] =
% \int \n{}{}(\br{}) \be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBE}\qty(\n{}{}(\br{}),s(\br{}),\zeta(\br{}),\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})) \dbr{},
%\end{equation}
%where \titou{$\zeta = (\n{\uparrow}{} - \n{\downarrow}{})/\n{}{}$ is the spin polarization and} $s=\abs{\nabla \n{}{}}/\n{}{4/3}$ is the reduced density gradient.
%$\be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBE}\qty(\n{}{},s,\zeta,\rsmu{}{})$ interpolates between the usual PBE correlation functional, \cite{PerBurErn-PRL-96} $\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)$, at $\rsmu{}{}=0$ and the exact large-$\rsmu{}{}$ behavior, \cite{TouColSav-PRA-04, GorSav-PRA-06, PazMorGorBac-PRB-06} yielding
%\begin{subequations}
%\begin{gather}
% \label{eq:epsilon_cmdpbe}
% \be{\text{c,md}}{\sr,\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta,\rsmu{}{}) = \frac{\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)}{1 + \beta(\n{}{},s,\zeta) \rsmu{}{3} },
% \\
% \label{eq:beta_cmdpbe}
% \beta(\n{}{},s,\zeta) = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{\pi} (1 - \sqrt{2} )} \frac{\e{\text{c}}{\PBE}(\n{}{},s,\zeta)}{\n{2}{\UEG}(\n{}{},\zeta)}.
%\end{gather}
%\end{subequations}
%The difference between the ECMD functional defined in Ref.~\citenum{FerGinTou-JCP-18} and the present expression \eqref{eq:epsilon_cmdpbe}-\eqref{eq:beta_cmdpbe} is that we approximate here the on-top pair density by its \titou{uniform electron gas \cite{LooGil-WIRES-16} (UEG)} version, i.e.~$\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{}) \approx \n{2}{\UEG}(\n{}{}(\br{}),\zeta(\br{}))$, where $\n{2}{\UEG}(\n{}{},\zeta) \approx \n{}{2} (1-\zeta^2) g_0(n)$ with the parametrization of the UEG on-top pair-distribution function $g_0(n)$ given in Eq.~(46) of Ref.~\citenum{GorSav-PRA-06}.
%This represents a major computational saving without loss of accuracy for weakly correlated systems as we eschew the computation of $\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{})$.
%The complementary functional $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{\HF}{\Bas}]$ is approximated by $\bE{\PBE}{\Bas}[\n{\HF}{\Bas},\rsmu{}{\Bas}]$ where $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ is given by Eq.~\eqref{eq:mu_of_r}.
%As most WFT calculations are performed within the frozen-core (FC) approximation, it is important to define an effective interaction within a subset of MOs.
%We then naturally split the basis set as $\Bas = \Cor \bigcup \BasFC$ (where $\Cor$ and $\BasFC$ are the sets of core and active MOs, respectively) and define the FC version of the effective interaction as
% \begin{equation}
% \label{eq:WFC}
% \WFC{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}) =
% \begin{cases}
% \fFC{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})/\nFC{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}), & \text{if $\nFC{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2}) \ne 0$},
% \\
% \infty, & \text{otherwise,}
% \end{cases}
% \end{equation}
%with
%\begin{subequations}
%\begin{gather}
% \label{eq:fbasisval}
% \fFC{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})
% = \sum_{pq \in \Bas} \sum_{rstu \in \BasFC} \SO{p}{1} \SO{q}{2} \V{pq}{rs} \Gam{rs}{tu} \SO{t}{1} \SO{u}{2},
% \\
% \nFC{2}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})
% = \sum_{pqrs \in \BasFC} \SO{p}{1} \SO{q}{2} \Gam{pq}{rs} \SO{r}{1} \SO{s}{2},
%\end{gather}
%\end{subequations}
%and the corresponding FC range-separation function $\rsmuFC{}{\Bas}(\br{}) = (\sqrt{\pi}/2) \WFC{}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{})$.
%It is noteworthy that, within the present definition, $\WFC{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ still tends to the regular Coulomb interaction as $\Bas \to \CBS$.
%Defining $\nFC{\HF}{\Bas}$ as the FC (i.e.~valence-only) $\HF$ one-electron density in $\Bas$, the FC contribution of the complementary functional is then approximated by $\bE{\PBE}{\Bas}[\nFC{\HF}{\Bas},\rsmuFC{}{\Bas}]$.
%The most computationally intensive task of the present approach is the evaluation of $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{})$ at each quadrature grid point.
%In the general case (i.e.~$\wf{}{\Bas}$ is a multi-determinant expansion), we compute this embarrassingly parallel step in $\order*{\Ng \Nb^4}$ computational cost with a memory requirement of $\order*{ \Ng \Nb^2}$, where $\Nb$ is the number of basis functions in $\Bas$.
%The computational cost can be reduced to $\order*{ \Ng \Ne^2 \Nb^2}$ with no memory footprint when $\wf{}{\Bas}$ is a single Slater determinant.
%As shown in Ref.~\citenum{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}, this choice for $\wf{}{\Bas}$ already provides, for weakly correlated systems, a quantitative representation of the incompleteness of $\Bas$.
%Hence, we will stick to this choice throughout the present study.
%In our current implementation, the computational bottleneck is the four-index transformation to get the two-electron integrals in the MO basis which appear in Eqs.~\eqref{eq:n2basis} and \eqref{eq:fbasis}.
%Nevertheless, this step usually has to be performed for most correlated WFT calculations.
%To conclude this section, we point out that, thanks to the definitions \eqref{eq:def_weebasis} and \eqref{eq:mu_of_r} as well as the properties \eqref{eq:lim_W} and \eqref{eq:large_mu_ecmd}, independently of the DFT functional, the present basis-set correction
%i) can be applied to any WFT method that provides an energy and a density,
%ii) does not correct one-electron systems, and
%iii) vanishes in the CBS limit, hence guaranteeing an unaltered CBS limit for a given WFT method.

It is also interesting to study doubly-excited states.
In the carbon dimer, these valence states are of $(\pi,\pi) \ra (\si,\si)$ character and they have been recently studied with state-of-the-art methods. \cite{LooBogSceCafJAc-JCTC-19}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
We have shown that by employing the recently proposed density-based basis set correction developed by some of the authors, one can obtain chemically-accurate excitation energies with typically augmented double-$\zeta$ basis sets.
We are currently investigating the performance of the present basis set correction for strongly correlated systems and we hope to report on this in the near future.
