The Coupled Cluster (CC) method is a widely used and highly successful high precisionmethod for the solution of the stationary electronic Schrödingerequation, with its practical convergence properties being similar to that of acorresponding Galerkin (CI) scheme. This behaviour has for the discrete CC method beenanalyzed with respect to the discrete Galerkin solution (the “full-CI-limit”) in[Schneider, 2009]. Recently, we globalized the CC formulation to the full continuousspace, giving a root equation for an infinite dimensional, nonlinear Coupled Clusteroperator that is equivalent the full electronic Schrödinger equation [Rohwedder, 2011]. Inthis paper, we combine both approaches to prove existence and uniqueness results,quasi-optimality estimates and energy estimates for the CC method with respect to thesolution of the full, original Schrödinger equation. The main property used is a localstrong monotonicity result for the Coupled Cluster function, and we give twocharacterizations for situations in which this property holds.
