\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conclusion}
In the present paper we have extended the recently proposed DFT-based basis-set correction to strongly correlated systems. We \alert{have applied the method to} the \ce{H10}, \ce{N2}, \ce{O2}, and \ce{F2} molecules up to the dissociation limit at near-FCI level in increasingly large basis sets, and investigated how the basis-set correction affects the convergence toward the CBS limit of the potential energy curves of these molecular systems.

The density-based basis-set correction relies on three aspects: i) the definition of an effective non-divergent electron-electron interaction obtained from the expectation value over a wave function $\psibasis$ of the Coulomb electron-electron interaction projected into an incomplete basis set $\basis$; ii) the fit of this effective interaction with the long-range interaction used in RSDFT; and iii) the use of a short-range, complementary functional borrowed from RSDFT. In the present paper, we investigated i) and iii) in the context of strong correlation and focused on potential energy curves and atomization energies. More precisely, we proposed a new scheme to design functionals fulfilling spin-multiplet degeneracy and size consistency. To fulfill such requirements we proposed to use CASSCF wave functions leading to size-consistent energies, and we developed functionals using only $S_z$-independent density-like quantities.

Regarding the results of the present approach, the basis-set correction systematically improves the near-FCI calculations in a given basis set. More quantitatively, it is shown that with only triple-$\zeta$ quality basis sets chemically accurate atomization energies are obtained for all systems whereas the uncorrected near-FCI results are far from this accuracy within the same basis set.
Also, it is shown that the basis-set correction gives substantial differential contribution to potential energy curves close to the equilibrium geometries, but at long internuclear distances it cannot recover the dispersion energy missing because of the basis-set incompleteness. This behavior is actually expected as dispersion is of long-range nature and the present approach is designed to recover only short-range correlation effects.
