Abstract

Iterative methods are developed to obtain approximate solutions for bound states of quantum‐mechanical systems. A sequence of 2 × 2 secular equations is solved, to yield a specified eigensolution to the N × N secular equation. Our simplest procedure ensures convergence only for certain states, but a generalisation appears to converge for any state. Some sample calculations are presented, both for model (anharmonic oscillator) systems and for a two‐electron atom.
