Abstract

Variational techniques to calculate estimates of bound-state energies and wave functions for single states are applied to simple electronic systems in magnetic fields. Explicit constraints to other state functions are not required. Our numerical energies compare favourably with results of other calculations, and the speed of our calculations is greatly enhanced by using a separable basis set and analytical integration.
