Abstract
A usual procedure to get a large fraction of the correlation energy consists in the evaluation of the second order perturbation contribution to the electronic energy by utilizing as zeroth order state a moderate size CI wave function (CIPSI algorithm). A scheme of calculation based on a hole-particle formulation of the Hamiltonian, leading to a diagrammatic pattern quite similar to the one used for the one-determinant case, is proposed and discussed.
