QUANTUM MECHANICAL SOLUTIONS OBTAINED BY TRUNCATED REACTION OPERATORS
Abstract
The use of truncated basis sets comprised of eigenfunctions of an unperturbed Hamiltonian is discussed as a practical method for obtaining an approximate solution for the reaction operator equation, and an approximate wave function for the perturbed system. The solution employs an iterative method which yields the matrix elements of the reaction operator. Connections between this approximate solution of the reaction operator equation and the linear variational, the Brillouin-Wigner and the Feenberg methods are derived. (Author)
