 \section{Theory}

 The basis set correction employed here relies on the RS-DFT formalism to capture the missing part of the short-range correlation effects, a consequence of the non-completeness of the one-electron basis set. 
-Here, we provide the main working equations.

 Therefore, it feels natural to evaluate $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ with short-range density functionals.
 Contrary to conventional RS-DFT schemes which require a range-separated parameter $\rsmu{}{}$, we must know the value of $\rsmu{}{}$ at any point in space due to the spatial inhomogeneity of $\Bas$, hence defining a range-separated \textit{function} $\rsmu{}{}(\br{})$.
 
+The first step of our basis set correction consists in obtaining the effective operator $\W{\wf{}{\Bas}}{}(\bx{1},\bx{2})$ which i) is finite at the e-e coalescence points as long as an incomplete basis set is used, and ii) tends to the genuine, unbounded $r_{12}^{-1}$ Coulomb operator in the limit of a complete basis set.
