The work of Schutz, Hetzer and Wemer " begins a series of papers exploring the development of local electron correlation methods with low-order scaling by presenting a linear scaling local MP2 . They describe a novel multipole approximation based on a sphtting of the Coulomb operator into two terms... 

Local electron-correlation methods are ab-initio wavefunction-based electronic-structure methods that exploit the short-range nature of dynamic correlation effects and in this way allow linear scaling 0 N) in the electron-correlation calculations [128,129,131-135] to be attained. 0 N) methods are applied to the treatment of extended molecular systems at a very high level of accuracy and rehabihty as CPU time, memory and disk requirements scale hneaily with increasing molecular size N.
