Abstract

We numerically assess the method for obtaining second-order Møller–Plesset (MP2) energy from the Hartree–Fock density matrix (DM) recently proposed by Surján [Surján, Chem. Phys. Lett. 406 (2005) 318]. It is confirmed that Surján’s method, referred to as DM-Laplace MP2, can obtain MP2 energy accurately by means of appropriate integral quadrature and a matrix exponential evaluation scheme. Numerical tests reveal that the Euler–Maclaurin and the Romberg numerical integration schemes can achieve milli-hartree accuracy with small quadrature points. This Letter also indicates the possibility of the application of DM-Laplace MP2 to linear-scaling self-consistent field techniques, which give approximate DM.
