New Approach to Correlation Energies in Atoms

Abstract

THE starting point of this work is the expression, which is not at all new,where the index in the subscript refers to theth eigenstate of a Hamiltonianand the index in the superscript refers to the order of correction, the zero-order terms being the eigensolutions satisfyingand S indicates summation over the discrete spectrum and integration over the continuum.
