The present correction, which appropriately vanishes in the complete basis set (CBS) limit, relies on short-range correlation density functionals (with multi-determinant reference) from range-separated density-functional theory (RS-DFT) to estimate the basis set incompleteness error.
Contrary to conventional RS-DFT schemes which require an \textit{ad hoc} range-separation \textit{parameter} $\mu$, the key ingredient here is a range-separation \textit{function} $\mu(\bf{r})$ which automatically adapts to the spatial non-homogeneity of the basis set incompleteness error.
As illustrative examples, we show how this density-based correction allows us to obtain coupled-cluster with single and double substitutions and triple CCSD(T) correlation energies near the CBS limit for the G2-1 set of molecules with compact Gaussian basis sets.

To palliate this, following Hylleraas' footsteps, \cite{Hyl-ZP-29} Kutzelnigg proposed to introduce explicitly the interelectronic distance $r_{12} = \abs{\br{1} - \br{2}}$ to properly describe the electronic wave function around the coalescence of two electrons. \cite{Kut-TCA-85, KutKlo-JCP-91, NogKut-JCP-94}
The resulting F12 methods yields a prominent improvement of the energy convergence, and achieve chemical accuracy for small organic molecules with relatively small Gaussian basis sets. \cite{Ten-TCA-12, TenNog-WIREs-12, HatKloKohTew-CR-12, KonBisVal-CR-12}
For example, at the CCSD(T) level, it is advertised that one can obtain quintuple-$\zeta$ quality correlation energies with a triple-$\zeta$ basis, \cite{TewKloNeiHat-PCCP-07} although computational overheads are introduced by the large auxiliary basis used to resolve three- and four-electron integrals. \cite{BarLoo-JCP-17}
%\trashPFL{Except for these computational considerations, a possible drawback of F12 theory is its quite complicated formulation which requires a deep knowledge in this field in order to adapt F12 theory to a new WFT model.}
To reduce further the computational cost and/or ease the transferability of the F12 correction, approximated and/or universal schemes have recently emerged. \cite{TorVal-JCP-09, KonVal-JCP-10, KonVal-JCP-11, BooCleAlaTew-JCP-2012, IrmHumGru-arXiv-2019, IrmGru-arXiv-2019}
Present-day DFT calculations are almost exclusively done within the so-called Kohn-Sham (KS) formalism, which corresponds to an exact dressed one-electron theory. \cite{KohSha-PR-65}
DFT's attractiveness originates from its very favorable cost/efficiency ratio as it can provide accurate energies and properties at a relatively low computational cost.
Thanks to this, KS-DFT \cite{HohKoh-PR-64, KohSha-PR-65} has become the workhorse of electronic structure calculations for atoms, molecules and solids. \cite{ParYan-BOOK-89}
In the \manu{context of the present work}, one of the interesting feature of density-based methods is their much faster convergence with respect to the size of the basis set. \cite{FraMusLupTou-JCP-15}
%especially in the range-separated (RS) context where the WFT method is relieved from describing the short-range part of the correlation hole. \cite{TouColSav-PRA-04, FraMusLupTou-JCP-15}
%To obtain accurate results within DFT, one must develop the art of selecting the adequate exchange-correlation functional, which can be classified in various families depending on their physical input quantities. \cite{Bec-JCP-14}
Although there is no clear way on how to systematically improve density-functional approximations, \cite{Bec-JCP-14} climbing the Jacob's ladder of DFT is potentially the most satisfactory way forward. \cite{PerSch-AIPCP-01, PerRuzTaoStaScuCso-JCP-05}
%The local-density approximation (LDA) sits on the first rung of the Jacob's ladder and only uses as input the electron density $n$. \cite{Dir-PCPRS-30, VosWilNus-CJP-80}
%The generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) corresponds to the second rung and adds the gradient of the electron density $\nabla n$ as an extra ingredient.\cite{Bec-PRA-88, PerWan-PRA-91, PerBurErn-PRL-96}
In the context of the present work, one of the interesting feature of density-based methods is their much faster convergence with respect to the size of the basis set. \cite{FraMusLupTou-JCP-15}
Progress toward unifying WFT and DFT are on-going.
In particular, range-separated DFT (RS-DFT) (see Ref.~\onlinecite{TouColSav-PRA-04} and references therein) rigorously combines these two approaches via a decomposition of the electron-electron (e-e) interaction into a smooth long-range part and a (complementary) short-range part treated with WFT and DFT, respectively.
As the WFT method is relieved from describing the short-range part of the correlation hole around the e-e coalescence points, the convergence with respect to the one-electron basis set is greatly improved. \cite{FraMusLupTou-JCP-15}
Therefore, a number of approximate RS-DFT schemes have been developed using either single-reference \cite{AngGerSavTou-PRA-05, GolWerSto-PCCP-05, TouGerJanSavAng-PRL-09,JanHenScu-JCP-09} or multi-reference \cite{LeiStoWerSav-CPL-97, FroTouJen-JCP-07, FroCimJen-PRA-10, HedKneKieJenRei-JCP-15, FerGinTou-JCP-18} WFT approaches.
%Therefore, a number of approximate RS-DFT schemes have been developed using either single-reference WFT approaches (such as M{\o}ller-Plesset perturbation theory\cite{AngGerSavTou-PRA-05}, coupled cluster\cite{GolWerSto-PCCP-05}, random-phase approximations\cite{TouGerJanSavAng-PRL-09,JanHenScu-JCP-09}) or multi-reference WFT approaches (such as multi-reference CI\cite{LeiStoWerSav-CPL-97}, multiconfiguration self-consistent field\cite{FroTouJen-JCP-07}, multi-reference perturbation theory\cite{FroCimJen-PRA-10}, density-matrix renormalization group\cite{HedKneKieJenRei-JCP-15}, selected CI\cite{FerGinTou-JCP-18}).

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 in $\wf{}{\Bas}$ (i.e.~a discontinuous derivative) 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 \trashMG{Coulomb} \manu{two-electron} interaction at $r_{12} = 0$.
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 $r_{12} = 0$.
Therefore, as we shall do later on, it feels natural to approximate $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ with short-range density functionals which deal with a smooth long-range electron interaction.
Contrary to the conventional RS-DFT scheme which requires a range-separated \textit{parameter} $\rsmu{}{}$, here we use a range-separated \textit{function} $\rsmu{\Bas}{}(\br{})$ which automatically adapts to quantify the incompleteness of $\Bas$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
The first step of the present basis set correction consists of obtaining an effective two-electron interaction $\W{\Bas}{}(\br{1},\br{2})$ ``mimicking'' the \manu{effect of the basis set incompleteness of $\Bas$ on the }Coulomb operator \trashMG{in a finite basis $\Bas$}.

In a second step, we shall link $\W{\Bas}{}(\br{1},\br{2})$ to $\rsmu{\Bas}{}(\br{})$.
In the final step, we employ short-range density functionals \cite{TouGorSav-TCA-05} with $\rsmu{\Bas}{}(\br{})$ as range separation.

Modern integral decomposition techniques (such as density fitting \cite{Whi-JCP-73}) or atomic-orbital-based algorithms could be employed to significantly speed up this step.
