Dual partitioning for effective Hamiltonians to avoid intruders

We present a new Hamiltonian partitioning which converges an arbitrary number of states of interest in the effective Hamiltonian to the full configuration interaction limits simultaneously. This feature is quite useful for the recently developed model space quantum Monte Carlo. A dual partitioning (DP) technique is introduced to avoid the intruder state problem present in the previous eigenvalue independent partitioning of Coope. The new approach is computationally efficient and applicable to general excited states involving conical intersections. We present a preliminary application of the method to model systems to investigate the performance.
