\subsection{Definition of an effective interaction within $\Bas$}
\label{sec:wee}
As originally shown by Kato\cite{Kat-CPAM-57}, the cusp in the exact wave function originates from the divergence of the Coulomb interaction at the coalescence point. Therefore, a cuspless wave function $\wf{}{\Bas}$ could also be obtained from a Hamiltonian with a non-divergent electron-electron interaction. In other words, the impact of the incompleteness of a finite basis set can be understood as the removal of the divergence of the usual Coulomb electron-electron interaction at the coalescence point.

As originally derived in Ref.~\onlinecite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18} (Section D and Appendices), one can obtain an effective non-divergent electron-electron interaction, here referred to as $\wbasis$, which reproduces the expectation value of the Coulomb electron-electron interaction operator over a given wave function $\wf{}{\Bas}$. As we are interested in the behaviour at the coalescence point, we focus on the opposite-spin part of the electron-electron interaction. More specifically, the effective electron-electron interaction associated to a given wave function $\wf{}{\Bas}$ is defined as

With such a definition, one can show that $\wbasis$ satisfies
\begin{eqnarray}
\begin{multline}
\frac{1}{2}\iint \dr{1} \dr{2} \wbasis \twodmrdiagpsi =
\nonumber\\
\frac{1}{2} \iint \dr{1} \dr{2} \frac{\twodmrdiagpsi}{|\br{1}-\br{2}|}.
\end{eqnarray}

\frac{1}{2} \iint \dr{1} \dr{2} \frac{\twodmrdiagpsi}{\abs{\br{1}-\br{2}}}.
\end{multline}
As shown in Ref.~\onlinecite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}, the effective interaction $\wbasis$ is necessarily finite at coalescence for an incomplete basis set, and tends to the usual Coulomb interaction in the CBS limit for any choice of wave function $\psibasis$, \ie,
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:cbs_wbasis}
\lim_{\Bas \to \text{CBS}} \wbasis = \frac{1}{|\br{1}-\br{2}|},\quad \forall\,\psibasis.
\lim_{\Bas \to \text{CBS}} \wbasis = \frac{1}{\abs{\br{1}-\br{2}}},\quad \forall\,\psibasis.
\end{equation}
The condition in Eq.~\eqref{eq:cbs_wbasis} is fundamental as it guarantees the correct behavior of the theory in the CBS limit.
