That's "just about a limit" and didn't say anything about the convergence (or more exactly monotonic) behavior. Considering this I could say your argument also breaks down if one use variational method. I think the guarantee for the monotonic behavior (decrease in energy) is the increased flexibility/degrees of freedom (or as you called variational space) - when one use larger and larger basis set. However, this doesn't depend on whether your method is variational or not, unless you change the order of perturbation. Of course, you are in trouble, if your method is not size extensive. As I said, I can be wrong, but everything is clear to me now, or at least it seems to me ;) Cheers, Jozsef On Wed, 2006-05-31 at 17:27 -0400, Serguei Patchkovskii ps.:.ned.sims.nrc.ca wrote: > Sent to CCL by: Serguei Patchkovskii [ps,ned.sims.nrc.ca] > On Wed, 31 May 2006, Jozsef Csontos jozsefcsontos|a|creighton.edu wrote: > > > BSSE = E_{A}^{AB}(AB) + E_{B}^{AB}(AB) - E_{A}^{A}(AB) - E_{B}^{B}(AB) > > [...] > > > So, apart from the signs, I should always get results on the same side > > of zero, but I didn't. > > Given the above definition, you can expect BSSE to be non-positive as long > as the method used to calculate the energies is variational.

I don't think that's correct: if you take the difference between the two equations listed above you get: Delta = E_{A}^{AB}(AB) + E_{B}^{AB}(AB) - E_{A}^{A}(A) - E_{B}^{B}(B) whereas: BSSE = E_{A}^{AB}(AB) + E_{B}^{AB}(AB) - E_{A}^{A}(AB) - E_{B}^{B}(AB) (Do I interpret correctly that the first formula (Delta) is how you compute the BSSE?) The difference between these two is that your last two terms are calculated at the equilibrium geometries of the monomers, as indicated by (A) and (B), instead of at the geometries that A and B adopt in the complex, (AB): Delta-BSSE = E_{A}^{A}(AB) + E_{B}^{B}(AB) - E_{A}^{A}(A) - E_{B}^{B}(B) which is just the sum of the monomer deformation energies: Delta-BSSE = EdefA = EdefB > > Some words about the sign, I think the sign of the bsse is the matter of > definition: > (+) JCC, 25, 1771, 2004 > (-) JCC, 22, 196, 2001 > > I used the DeltaE(CP)-DeltaE(noCP) equation which implies that the bsse > is positive.

According to your definitions: DeltaE(CP) = DeltaE(noCP) - BSSE(<=0) according to my equations: DeltaE(CP) = DeltaE(noCP) + BSSE(>=0). The meaning of these is the same Delta(noCP)<=Delta(CP). "vanishing away" I meant that calculating the bsse using your definitions the deformation energies can cancel out from the equation.

I tried doing TDDFT calculations with G03 to test some functionals developed in our group. Since I am a beginner of using TDDFT, I did a calculation for the CO molecule with PBE0 functional to reproduce the results in Adamo's JCP paper (JCP 111, 2889 (1999)). I can reproduce his results for almost all excited states except the highest Rydberg singlet state corresponding to the state with an experimental excitation energy of 12.4 ev. In Adamo's paper, PBE0 gives 12.01 ev, but I can not extract this excitation energy from my G03 calculations. Moreover I failed to reproduce the HCTH and B3LYP results in Tozer and Handy's paper (JCP 109 10180 (1998)), I also failed to reproduce the B97-2 results in Teale and Tozer's recent paper (JCP 122, 034101 (2005)). They are using CADPAC, not G03. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. The following are my G03 input file and some output information.
