Abstract

Size-extensivity correction to second-order Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory is derived and implemented. For the size-extensivity correction, renormalization term is obtained by modifying the non-physical term in the denominator of the second-order Brillouin-Wigner formulae. We have achieved improved results. The method is illustrated in a series calculations on H2O, BH, HOF, Be and Ne using three different basis sets, and the results are then compared with corresponding coupled cluster double and second-order MOller-Plesset perturbation theory.
