摘要
A new scheme for obtaining the approximate correlation energy in the divide-and-conquer (DC) method of Yang [Phys. Rev. Lett. 66, 1438 (1991)] is presented. In this method, the correlation energy of the total system is evaluated by summing up subsystem contributions, which are calculated from subsystem orbitals based on a scheme for partitioning the correlation energy. We applied this method to the second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), which we call DC-MP2. Numerical assessment revealed that this scheme provides a reliable correlation energy with significantly less computational cost than the conventional MP2 calculation.
