Seond, our sets re ore opt Ž8 12 delsng funtons per to s opposed to roughly 30 delsng funtons per to n the PSGVB v1.00 sets. nd ontn only s nd p funtons. However, ths y e due to the ft tht t s uh eser to nuerlly estte the uh sller orrelton energes thn the lrge SCF energes tht Fresner s sets were desgned to reprodue. Indeed, whle our sets perfor well for oputng orrelton energes, we fnd tht they do not lwys provde us wth urte SCF energes or wth urte Fok tres for ensung orrelton energy lultons. Even when the SCF energes re eptle Žerrors on the order of 1 hrtree., the resultng pseudospetrl Fok tres do not perfor well n orrelton energy lultons. ŽMP2 lultons, for nstne, frequently do not onverge when these Fok tres re used.. Ths s kn to the oservton y Mrtnez nd Crter 10, 21 tht sller grds n e used n orrelton energy lultons, even though they yeld very poor SCF totl energes when used n SCF lultons. In the se wy we n get wy wth sller nd less oplex delsng sets for orrelton energy lultons thn for SCF lultons.

Then we dsussed the pplton of ths ethod to pseudospetrl eletron orrelton energes. In prtulr, we wnted to opute nuerl pproxtons to the two-eletron ntegrls Ž j..
