Abstract

Perturbation theory is used to justify the approximation in configuration interaction of the coefficients of quadruple excitations as products of coefficients of double excitations. Corresponding energy expressions are presented and tested in a simple application to the beryllium atom. The ideas are likely to be of most use in connection with large configuration interaction calculations.
