[molpro-user] Closed-shell CCSD code

[Werner Győrffy]

Dear Ugur,

In terms of single reference methods using density fitting, Molpro 
includes local methods such as DF-LMP2, DF-LCCSD(T), DF-LCCSD, DF-LCC2, 
and DF-LADC(2). In terms of properties, we have DF-LMP2 analytical first 
and second derivatives; DF-LCC2 linear response theory and analytical 
first derivatives also for excited states. The canonical results can be 
alway computed by the local code. Furthermore, there are separate 
implementations of the canonical methods for energy calculations and 
analytical first derivatives for DF-MP2, DF-CCSD(T), DF-CCSD; as well as 
for their F12 versions.

Now, regarding your question:

The default implementation of CCSD in Molpro is without density fitting.

In the case of canonical methods, density fitting cannot speed up 
calculations where the method scales higher than O(N^5), such as, for 
example, CCSD which scales as O(N^6) or CCSD(T) which scales as O(N^7). 
Here, I do not consider methods where tensor decomposition techniques 
are used for doubles amplitudes or any 2RDMs. On the other hand, methods 
with O(N^5) or lower scaling are greatly accelerated: for example, HF, 
DFT, MP2, CASPT2 energies and analytical derivatives (all impleneted in 
Molpro). For local methods, linear scaling can be achieved also for 
coupled cluster methods so density fitting helps in reducing the 
calculation cost.

Density fitting in general eliminates the bottleneck of storing 
two-electron integrals.

Regards,

Werner.
