ON SECOND ORDER PERTURBATION ENERGIES AND HYPERVIRIAL RELATIONS,
Abstract
A hypervirial criterion for the second order energy correction En Exp. (2) to vanish is examined in the context of standard perturbation theory. For ground state wave functions, the criterion leads to the trivial situation in which both the unperturbed and perturbed Hamiltonians have the same set of eigenfunctions. The first order correction to a non-zero En Exp. (2) under a second perturbation is shown to vanish if another hypervirial criterion is satisfied. (Author)
