Abstract
An extended pairing scheme is presented which ensures the fulfillment of pairing conditions not only between the sets of occupied orbitals for spin α and for spin β, but also between their orthogonal complements, i.e., the sets of virtual orbitals for spin α and spin β, as well as between occupied orbitals for spin α and virtual orbitals for spin β and between virtual orbitals for spin α and occupied orbitals for spin β. It is shown that the extended pairing properties are suggested by some aspects of the construction of alternant molecular orbitals. The algorithm for singular value decomposition of rectangular matrices is proposed for use in practical implementations of the (extended) pairing scheme.
