Configuration interaction wave functions: A seniority number approach

This work deals with the configuration interaction method when an N-electron Hamiltonian is projected on Slater determinants which are classified according to their seniority number values. We study the spin features of the wave functions and the size of the matrices required to formulate states of...

The performance of these bases is analyzed by means of numerical results obtained from selected N-electron systems of several spin symmetries.
