    Notes: Abstract A set of simple molecules in closed and open-shell ground states is treated by the three techniques mentioned in the title, using the same geometries and basis sets (DZ + P). It is found that for nearly all molecules treated in this study (exceptions are H2 and CH3) consistently about 98% of the CEPA valence shell correlation energy is obtained by third-order many-body Ray-leigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory (MB-RSPT). The CEPA and MB-RSPT results for reaction energies and barrier heights for some simple reactions differ by 0 to 30 kJ/mol, the CEPA results being in most cases closer to experiment than MB-RSPT, while CI results are much less reliable as long as CI is limited to singly and doubly substituted configurations only.

    Notes: Summary The paper deals with two topics related to the problem which reference state is better for many-body perturbation theory: restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) or unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF)? The first topic concerns the potential surfaces. Several examples are presented to show shortcomings of the two approaches and a simple way is presented which seems to give a useful potential curve in the whole range of interatomic distances by a composition of RHF and UHF potential curves. The second topic concerns the many-body perturbation theory for open-shell systems in the RHF formalism. The method is critically examined and compared with the ordinary many-body perturbation theory using UHF as the reference. This examination of many-body techniques provides also some insight into the problems inherent of the SCF theory: spin contamination from higher multiplets, localization of orbitals, and self-consistency effects.
