Abstract:
A detailed analysis of a new partitioning in many-body perturbation theory recently proposed by Knowles (J. Chem. Phys. 156, 011101, 2022), termed "perturbation adapted partitioning" (PAPT), is presented. Level shift and orbital rotation effects are identified as gears of the zero-order Hamiltonian. These two components are examined separately, revealing that, in themselves, neither of the two is competitive with the combined effect. The success of PAPT can be attributed to determining a set of molecular orbitals and corresponding orbital energies that can systematically outperform the canonical orbitals and Koopmans' energy-based Møller-Plesset partitioning. The self-consistent version of the method is also tested in terms of energy and convergence. Previous numerical studies are further complemented with an application to an inherent multireference example and an investigation of van der Waals interaction energies. In addition, a rigorous mathematical analysis of the consequence of the linear dependence of projection functions on the solution of the Knowles' equations is provided.
