We present the DEC-RIMP2-F12 method where we have augmented the Divide Expand-Consolidate resolution-of-the-identity
second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory method (DEC-RIMP2)
[P. Baudin et al., J. Chem. Phys. 144, 054102 (2016)] with an explicitly correlated (F12) correction.
The new method is linear-scaling, massively parallel, and it corrects for the basis set
incompleteness error in an efficient manner.
In addition, we observe that the F12 contribution decreases the domain error of
the DEC-RIMP2 correlation energy by roughly an order of magnitude.
An important feature of the DEC scheme is the inherent error control defined by a single parameter,
and this feature is also retained for the DEC-RIMP2-F12 method.
In this paper we present the working equations for the DEC-RIMP2-F12 method and proof of
concept numerical results for a set of test molecules.
