Abstract
The closed‐shell coupled clustertheory restricted to single and double excitation operators (CCSD) is formulated in a basis of nonorthogonal local correlation functions. Excitations are made from localized molecular orbitals into subspaces (domains) of the local basis, which strongly reduces the number of amplitudes to be optimized. Furthermore, the correlation of distant electrons can be treated in a simplified way (e.g., by MP2) or entirely neglected. It is demonstrated for 20 molecules that the local correlation treatment recovers 98%–99% of the correlation energy obtained in the corresponding full CCSD calculation. Singles‐doubles configuration interac‐ tion (CISD), quadratic configuration interaction (QCISD), and Mo/ller–Plesset perturbation theory [MP2, MP3, MP4(SDQ)] are treated as special cases.Keywords
