Notes:
In the early 1960s, Nesbet proposed to develop correlation energy in terms of two-, three-, four-, etc., electron contributions. This expansion was, in principle, applicable to a large number of electrons without a size-extensivity error. The now available full-CI algorithms may be used to obtain those expansions in terms of either occupied spin - orbitals or, more efficiently, in terms of sets of occupied or virtual molecular orbitals. Tests on the NH3 molecule with a DZP basis-set problem show the slow convergence of this approach. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
