Quadratic MMCC approach

As mentioned in the Introduction, the renormalized (R) and completely renormalized (CR) CC approaches, which represent new classes of noniterative single-reference CC methods that are capable of removing the failing of the standard CCSD(T) and similar methods at larger internuclear separations, are based on the formalism of the method of moments of CC equations (MMCC) [11-13, 30-32,36, 75, 76]. Thus, we begin our description of the R-CC and CR-CC methods and their quadratic MMCC (QMMCC) extension for multiple bond breaking with a synopsis of the general MMCC theory. 

THE RENORMALIZED AND COMPLETELY RENORMALIZED CCSD(T) AND CCSD(TQ) APPROACHES AND THE QUADRATIC MMCC THEORY... 

The method of moments of coupled-cluster equations (MMCC) is extended to potential energy surfaces involving multiple bond breaking by developing the quasi-variational (QV) and quadratic (Q) variants of the MMCC theory. The QVMMCC and QMMCC methods are related to the extended CC (ECC) theory, in which products involving cluster operators and their deexcitation counterparts mimic the effects of higher-order clusters. The test calculations for N2 show that the QMMCC and ECC methods can provide spectacular improvements in the description of multiple bond breaking by the standard CC approaches.
