An essential thing to stress concerning the above development of so-called Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory (RSPT) is that each of the energy corrections...

The Rayleigh-Schrodinger Perturbation Theory (see [2]) leads then to the following system of linear equations for the determination of cj (j=l,. ..M) ... 

The mathematical procedure that we present here for solving equation (9.15) is known as Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory. There are other procedures, but they are seldom used. In the Rayleigh-Schrodinger method, the eigenfunctions tpn and the eigenvalues E are expanded as power series in A... 

E. Schrodinger, Ann. Phys. 80 (1926), 437. The quantal formalism substantially follows the classical method developed by Lord Rayleigh (Theory of Sound [1894]) and is commonly referred to as Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory. ... 

Note that the choice of non-orthogonal versus orthogonal basis functions has no consequence for the numerical variational solutions (cf. Coulson s treatment of He2, note 76), but it undermines the possibility of physical interpretation in perturbative terms. While a proper Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbative treatment of the He- He interaction can be envisioned, it would not simply truncate at second order as assumed in the PMO analysis of Fig. 3.58. Note also that alternative perturbation-theory formulations that make no reference to an... 

From this starting point, London employed standard techniques of Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory to evaluate the leading effects of the intermolecular... 

A Rayleigh-Schrodinger-type perturbation theory has recently been developed by Angyan [107], The consideration of external perturbations, like electric fields, permits the calculation of response functions for solvated species.

At the same time, Meissner, Kucharski and others [56,57] developed the quadratic MR CCSD method in a spin-orbital form which does not exploit the BCH formula. The unknown cluster amplitudes are calculated from the so-called generalized Bloch equation [45-47,49,64,65] (or in our language the Bloch equation in the Rayleigh-Schrodinger form)... 

It should be apparent that the expressions for the wave functions after interaction [equations (3.38) and (3.39)] are equivalent to the Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory (RSPT) result for the perturbed wave function correct to first order [equation (A.109)]. Similarly, the parallel between the MO energies [equations (3.33) and (3.34)] and the RSPT energy correct to second order [equation (A. 110)] is obvious. The missing first-order correction emphasizes the correspondence of the first-order corrected wave function and the second-order corrected energy. Note that equations (3.33), (3.34), (3.38), and (3.39) are valid under the same conditions required for the application of perturbation theory, namely that the perturbation be weak compared to energy differences. 

If the solutions (energies and wave functions P ) of the Schrodinger equation for the unperturbed system Tf(°) P = F,1,01 4/jl°l are known, and the operator form of the perturbation, Hp, can be specified, the Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory will provide a description of the perturbed system in terms of the unperturbed system. Thus, for the perturbed system, the SE is...
