Title: Orthogonally-spin-adapted coupled-cluster theory for closed-shell systems including triexcited clusters

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., A; (United States)

The orthogonally-spin-adapted form of the nonlinear system of equations for the extended coupled-pair many-electron theory, which involves the monoexcited, biexcited, and triexcited states and cluster components, is derived. A diagrammatic approach, based on second quantization, the time-independent Wick theorem, and the graphical methods of spin algebras, is employed. The advantages of using the orthogonally-spin-adapted states and cluster components, rather than the nonorthogonally-spin-adapted ones which have been previously employed, particularly in the triexcited case, are also discussed. It is also shown that the formulas for the direct configuration-interaction method can easily be obtained in compact form from the linear part of the system of extended coupled-pair equations.
