This work proposes the variational determination of two-electron reduced density matrices corresponding to the ground state of N-electron systems within the doubly-occupied-configuration-interaction methodology. The P, Q, and G two-index N-representability conditions have been extended to the T1 and T2 (T2´) three-index ones and the resulting optimization problem has been addressed using a standard semidefinite program. We report results obtained from the doubly-occupied-configuration-interaction method, from the two-index constraint variational procedure, and from the two- and three-index constraint variational treatment. The discussion of these results along with a study of the computational cost demanded show the usefulness of our proposal.
