Abstract

A new variational basis with well-behaved local approximation properties and multiple output is proposed for Coulomb systems. The trial function has proper behaviour at all Coulomb centres. Nonlinear asymptotic parameters are introduced softly: they do not destroy the self-optimized local behaviour of the wave function at vanishing interparticle distances. The diagonalization of the Hamiltonian on a finite Hilbert subspace gives a number of meaningful eigenvalues. Thus together with the ground state some excited states are also reliably approximated. For three-body systems all matrix elements are analytically obtainable up to rational functions of asymptotic parameters. The feasibility of the new basis usage has been proved by a pilot computer algebra calculation. The negative sign of an electron pair local energy at their Coulomb centre has been revealed.
