The closed-shell CCSD equations are reformulated in order to achieve superior computational efficiency. Using a spin adaptation scheme based on the unitary group approach (UGA), we have obtained a new set of equations that greatly improves our previous formulation. Based on this scheme we have also derived equations for the closed-shell configuration interaction including all single and double excitations (CISD) case. Both methods have been implemented and tested. For a range of test cases the new CCSD method is more efficient than the earlier CCSD method. The new closed-shell CISD procedure is faster than the shape-driven (SD)GUGA algorithm and the new CCSD scheme is less than two times more computation intensive than SDGUGA CISD per iteration.
