| contents | We investigate the numerical accuracy of the extended Koopmans's theorem (EKT) in reproducing the full configuration interaction (FCI) and complete active-space configuration interaction (CAS-CI) ionization energies (IEs) of atomic and molecular systems calculated as the difference between the energies of N and (N - 1) electron states. In particular, we study the convergence of the EKT IEs to their exact values as the basis set and the active space sizes vary. We find that the first FCI EKT IEs approach their exact counterparts as the basis set size increases. However, increasing the basis set or the active space sizes do not always lead to more accurate CAS-CI EKT IEs. Our investigation supports the Davidson et al.'s observation [E. R. Davidson, et al., J. Chem. Phys. 155, 051102 (2021)] that the FCI EKT IEs can be systematically improved with arbitrary numerical accuracy by supplementing the basis set with diffuse functions of appropriate symmetry which allow the detached electron to travel far away from the reference system. By changing the exponent and the center of the diffuse functions, our results delineate a complex pattern for the CAS-CI EKT IE of LiH which can be important for the spectroscopic studies of small molecules. |
