The former approach is referred to as the valence universal (VU) or Pock space MR CC method [51-54] and the latter one as the state universal (SU) or Hilbert space method [55]. In spite of a great number of papers devoted to both the VU and SU approaches, very few actual applications have been carried out since their inception more than two decades ago. Certainly, no general-purpose codes have been developed. This is not so much due to the increased complexity of the MR formalism relative to the SR one, as it is due to a number of genuine obstacles that have yet to be overcome. 

The ADC(3), NR2, 2ph-TDA, and BD-Tl [24] approximations display this structure in H. In these methods, couplings between simple (h and p) and triple (2hp and 2ph) operators may be evaluated through first or second order in the fluctuation potential. Hilbert space methods of similar computational difficulty, such as IP-CCSD [25], do not have couplings between nh(n-l)p and np(n-l)h sectors. A similar formulation can be achieved by using Kohn-Sham orbitals to define a reference state [26]. Identical expressions for the matrix elements of H can be derived using a diagrammatic approach [27]. 

According to (1.22) and (1.26), the eigenvalues v of the Liouvillian L are distributed symmetrically around the point v = 0, and this implies that, even if the Hamiltonian H in physics is bounded from below, H > a 1, the Liouvillian L is as a rule unbounded. Except for this difference, practically all the Hilbert-space methods developed to solve the Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem in exact or approximate form may be applied also to the Liouvillian eigenvalue problem. In the time-dependent case, the L2 methods developed to solve the Schrodinger equation are now also applicable to solve the Liouville equation (1.7). 

Studies of rare earth or transition metal complexes often necessitate use of multireference wave functions. Among the Coupled Cluster type methods one can distinguish two main lines of approach to incorporate multireference character in the reference wave function. In the Hilbert space method one computes a single wave function for a particular state, while in the Fock space method one tries to obtain a manifold of states simultaneously. Since the latter method [40] has recently been implemented and applied in conjunction with the relativistic Hamiltonian [48-50] we will focus on this approach. 

DMBE) methods. Regarding the interpolation techniques, we focus on the global reproducing kernel Hilbert space method,... 

For systems with more than two open shells, it is in general necessary to resort to multireference methods. This section has dealt only with state-specific coupled-cluster methods, also known as state-universal methods or Hilbert space methods, for which a considerable amount of effort has been expended on nonrelativistic multireference methods. The alternative, which is much more suited to multireference problems, is the valence-universal or Fock space method, which has been developed for relativistic systems by Kaldor and coworkers (Eliav and Kaldor 1996, Eliav et al. 1994, 1998, Visscher et al. 2001). 

Meanwhile orbitals cannot be observed either directly, indirectly since they have no physical reality contrary to the recent claims in Nature magazine and other journals to the effect that some d orbitals in copper oxide had been directly imaged (Scerri, 2000). Orbitals as used in ab initio calculations are mathematical figments that exist, if anything, in a multi-dimensional Hilbert space.19 Electron density is altogether different since it is a well-defined observable and exists in real three-dimensional space, a feature which some theorists point to as a virtue of density functional methods.

In this chapter we study the stability with respect to the initial data and the right-hand side of two-layer and three-layer difference schemes that are treated as operator-difference schemes with operators in Hilbert space. Necessary and sufficient stability conditions are discovered and then the corresponding a priori estimates are obtained through such an analysis by means of the energy inequality method. A regularization method for the further development of various difference schemes of a desired quality (in accuracy and economy) in the class of stability schemes is well-established. Numerous concrete schemes for equations of parabolic and hyperbolic types are available as possible applications, bring out the indisputable merit of these methods and unveil their potential. 

Stability theory is the central part of the theory of difference schemes. Recent years have seen a great number of papers dedicated to investigating stability of such schemes. Many works are based on applications of spectral methods and include ineffective results given certain restrictions on the structure of difference operators. For schemes with non-self-adjoint operators the spectral theory guides only the choice of necessary stability conditions, but sufficient conditions and a priori estimates are of no less importance. An energy approach connected with the above definitions of the scheme permits one to carry out an exhaustive stability analysis for operators in a prescribed Hilbert space Hh-... 

In the case of finite temperature a similar approach can be used based on the boundary integral method, where instead of the zero temperature Green s function, finite-temperature Green s function derived within TFD formalism is used. Introducing finite-temperature within the thermofield dynamics formalism is based on two steps, doubling of the Hilbert space and Bogolyubov transformations (Takahashi et.ah, 1996 Ademir, 2005). 

One way of getting rid of distortions and basis set dependence could be that one switches to the formalism developed by Bader [12] according to which the three-dimensional physical space can be partitioned into domains belonging to individual atoms (called atomic basins). In the definition of bond order and valence indices according to this scheme, the summation over atomic orbitals will be replaced by integration over atomic domains [13]. This topological scheme can be called physical space analysis. Table 22.3 shows some examples of bond order indices obtained with this method. Experience shows that the bond order indices obtained via Hilbert space and physical space analysis are reasonably close, and also that the basis set dependence is not removed by the physical space analysis. 

The first approach, taking the advantage of the BCH formula, was initiated hy Jeziorski and Monkhorst [23] and, so far, it has been intensively developed within Paldus s group [5,51-55] who formulated an orthogonally spin-adapted Hilbert space MR CC method for a special case of a two-dimensional model space spanned by closed-shell-type reference configurations. The unknown cluster amplitudes are obtained by the solution of the Bloch equation [45-49]... 

In this review, we have discussed the Feshbach-Lowdin PT as a tool for studying multidimensional quantum dynamics of (molecular) systems. The central element in this approach is the emergence of overlapping resonances through the application of the PT on the Hilbert space of the system under study, and the possibility that such resonances ultimately interfere. The TOR, which is the result of this approach, provides a fruitful method to understand and conceptually link diverse physical phenomena and processes. We have tried to demonstrate this by discussing various examples, as FIT and ORIT, the suppression of spontaneous decay in atoms and molecules, and the CC of IC in pyrazine and / -carotene, as well as of IVR in the OCS molecule. 

The theory developed in the present work is based on the operator theory in abstract Hilbert space. Terminologies and symbols are mostly those used by Stone in his standard book85. The abstract method is unavoidable to secure mathematical rigour. Also it is advantageous in that it enables us to obtain formulas in more compact and clear form than in conventional methods. We have devoted the first section to summarize important concepts and theorems which are of frequent use in the course of the whole work. 

Remark. Apart from the question whether the set of all eigenfunctions is complete, one is in practice often faced with the following problem. Suppose for a certain operator W one has been able to determine a set of solutions of (7.1). Are they all solutions For a finite matrix W this question can be answered by counting the number of linearly independent vectors one has found. For some problems with a Hilbert space of infinite dimensions it is possible to show directly that the solutions are a complete set, see, e.g., VI.8. Ordinarily one assumes that any reasonably systematic method for calculating the eigenfunctions will give all of them, but some problems have one or more unsuspected exceptional eigenfunctions.
