An earlier proposed propagator method for the treatment of molecular ionization is tested in first applications. The method referred to as the non-Dyson third-order algebraic-diagrammatic construction [nD-ADC(3)] approximation for the electron propagator represents a computationally promising alternative to the existing Dyson ADC(3) method. The advantage of the nD-ADC(3) scheme is that the (N +/- 1)-electronic parts of the one-particle Green's function are decoupled from each other and the corresponding equations can be solved separately. For a test of the method the nD-ADC(3) results for the vertical ionization transitions in C2H4, CO, CS, F-2, H2CO, H2O, HF, N-2, and Ne are compared with available experimental and theoretical data including results of full configuration interaction (FCI) and coupled cluster computations. The mean error of the nD-ADC(3) ionization energies relative to the experimental and FCI results is about 0.2 eV. The nD-ADC(3) method, scaling as n(5) with the number of orbitals, requires the solution of a relatively simple Hermitian eigenvalue problem. The method renders access to ground-state properties such as dipole moments. Moreover, also one-electron properties of (N +/- 1) electron states can now be studied as a consequence of a specific intermediate-state representation (ISR) formulation of the nD-ADC approach. Corresponding second-order ISR equations are presented. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
