Size-consistency and Size-extensivity Problem
Davidson correction improves both size consistency and size extensivity of CISD energies. Therefore, Davidson correction is frequently referred to in literature as size-consistency correction or size-extensivity correction.
However, neither Davidson correction itself nor the corrected energies are size-consistent or size-extensive. This is especially the case in larger molecules, where contribution from higher than quadruple excitations becomes more significant.

Famous quotes containing the word problem:
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
