transfers the complexity of the many-body problem to the exchange-correlation (xc) functional thanks to a judicious mapping between a non-interacting reference system and its interacting analog which both have exactly the same one-electron density.
KS-DFT \cite{Hohenberg_1964,Kohn_1965} is now the workhorse of electronic structure calculations for atoms, molecules and solids thanks to its very favorable accuracy/cost ratio. \cite{ParrBook}
As compared to WFT, DFT has the indisputable advantage of converging much faster with respect to the size of the basis set. \cite{FraMusLupTou-JCP-15,Loos_2019d,Giner_2020}
However, there is no systematic way of refining the approximation of the unknown exact xc functional, and therefore in practice
one faces the unsettling choice of the \emph{approximate} xc functional. \cite{Becke_2014}

Moreover, because of the approximate nature of the xc functional, although the resolution of the KS equations is variational, the resulting KS energy does not have such property.

Within the CIPSI algorithm originally developed by Huron \textit{et al.} in Ref.~\onlinecite{Huron_1973} and efficiently implemented as described in Ref.~\onlinecite{Garniron_2019}, the PT2

$\EPT$ is then the sole parameter of the CIPSI algorithm and is chosen to be its convergence criterion.
