Abstract

In our article (Hubac I., Neogrady P.: Phys. Rev. A 50, 4558 (1994)) we have developed size-extensive Brillouin-Wigner coupled cluster (BWCC) theory. We have shown that the BWCC theory is fully equivalent to the standard coupled cluster theory. However, the BWCC theory does not obey the so-called linked cluster theorem. In this article we discuss the cancellation of disconnected terms in the BWCC theory.

Keywords: Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory; Coupled clusters; Size consistency; Linked cluster theorem.
