Coupled Cluster Doubles theory, linear approximation

The ab initio HF calculations reported below have been performed with the GAUSSIAN 76 [26] program package. The atomic basis sets applied are a minimal (STO-3G [26]) one, a split valence (6-31G [26]) one, a split-valence one plus a set of five d-functions on carbon (6-31G [26]), and one with an additional set of p-functions on hydrogen (6-31G [26]). The correlation energy has been computed using Mpller-Plesset many body perturbation theory of second order (MP2) [27], the linear approximation of Coupled Cluster Doubles theory (L-CCD)... 

In the following, the theory of Kutzelnigg s linear R12 functions shall be presented and analyzed in the framework of the coupled-cluster doubles (CCD) method, To illustrate the ideas and approximations employed in the linear R12 methods, it is sufficient to consider the CCD model, as the corresponding CCD-R12 theory exhibits all properties of the R12 theories. It is a relatively simple matter to include singles (CCSD) or even triples (for example in the CCSD(T) method), and CI-R12-type wave functions or MPn-R12 energies require essentially the same computational procedures as the CCD-R12 approach.
