Theory of self-consistent electron pairs. An iterative method for correlated many-electron wavefunctions

Meyer, Wilfried·1976·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

A rapidly converging iterative method is presented to solve the many-electron Schrödinger equation within a Hilbert space confined to functions with at most two electrons outside an internal space defined by the orbitals of a reference function. The wavefunction is given in terms of external two-electron clusters represented by coefficients and density matrices referring directly to the basis functions. All matrix elements are obtained from generalized Coulomb and exchange operators. Only one operator per correlated electron pair is required for each iteration cycle.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
