Abstract: 

Geminal functional theory exploits the structure of the Hamiltonian operator in the Schrödinger equation, greatly reducing the computational complexity of the problem. Several approaches have been developed – strongly orthogonal antisymmetrized geminal products (SOAGP), singlet‐type strongly orthogonal geminal products, antisymmetrized geminal products (AGPs) of one geminal, and a general minimum search of the second order reduced density matrix space based on AGPs. Furthermore, SOAGPs have been employed as reference wave functions for perturbation theory.
