Brillouin-Wigner-like quasidegenerate perturbation theory for intermediate effective operators is discussed. Due to the self-consistent approach to the calculation of projectors onto perturbed model states, an a priori partitioning of the model space into a main model space and an intermediate space is avoided. Small energy denominators do not appear in any order. As for the intermediate states, the accuracy of results and the norm of effective interactions can be controlled; one can achieve an almost exact description of the lowest intermediate states and gradual increase of errors when going up in energy. Numerical examples are presented and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
