Generalized Sturmians and atomic spectra /

This book describes the generalized Sturmian method, which offers a fresh approach to the calculation of atomic spectra. Generalized Sturmians are isoenergetic solutions to an approximate many-electron Schrodinger equation with a weighted potential. The weighting factors are chosen in such a way as...
