Abstract
Lower bounds to the energy levels of the ground states of the helium isoelectronic sequence and of excited singlet and triplet S states of He and Li+ have been calculated, using analytical orbital wavefunction of 'frozen core' type and a variety of lower bound formulae. Only the bounds which result from the formulae of Cohen and Feldmann are generally useful. The numerical results indicate that the 'frozen core' wavefunctions for two-electron atoms are of satisfactory quality.
