Abstract

The perturbation theory expressions obtained by Kim and Sukhatme [\lq\lq Alternative approach to non-relativistic perturbation theory", J. Phys. A 25 (1992) L647-L650] are compared with the results of the LPT formalism, developed by Aharanov and Au [\lq\lq New approach to perturbation theory", Phys. Rev. Lett. 42 (1979) 1582-1585, and subsequent papers]. The step by step connection between the two formalisms is shown and commented on, and an illustrative example is given.

Formal perturbation theory

Isaiah Shavitt, Rodney J. Bartlett

Background There are two stages in the study of perturbation theory and related techniques (although they are mixed intimately in most derivations in the literature). The first is the formal development , carried out in terms of the total Hamiltonian and total wave function (and total zero-order wave function), without attempt to express anything in terms of one- and two-body quantities (components of Ĥ, orbitals, integrals over orbitals etc.). We can make a considerable amount of progress in this way before considering the detailed form of Ĥ. The second is the many-body development , where all expressions are obtained in terms of orbitals (one-electron states) and oneand two-electron integrals. We shall try to keep these separate for a while and begin with a consideration of formal perturbation theory. Another aspect of the study of many-body techniques is the large variety of approaches, notations and derivations that have been used. Each different approach has contributed to the lore and the language of many-body theory, and each tends to illuminate some aspects better than the other approaches. If we want to be able to read the literature in this field, we should be familiar with several alternative formulations. Therefore, we shall occasionally derive some results in more than one way and, in particular, we shall derive the basic perturbation-theory equations and their many-body representations in several complementary ways. Classical derivation of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory The perturbation Ansatz We begin with a classical textbook derivation of formal Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory (RSPT).

Approach to perturbation theory for box models

Francisco Marcelo Fernández

We generalize a recently developed perturbation approach [F. M. Fern\'andez and E. A. Castro, Phys. Rev. A 46, 7288 (1992)], extending its applicability to a wider variety of separable quantum-mechanical problems. As an illustrative example, we consider a particle in a one-dimensional box with a finite potential wall perturbed by a linear potential and obtain the perturbation corrections to the wave function and energy of an arbitrary state in terms of the corresponding unperturbed quantities.

A New Approach on Wave Function and Energy Level Calculation Through Perturbation Theory

Biswanath Rath

A new approach to non-relativistic large order perturbation theory for constructing energy and wave function correction up to K th order has been developed. Convergent argument of this series has been demonstrated for the ground state of second order and fourth order Schroedinger equation. Further a comparison with the Bender and Wu computational work reflects that the present series is not the same as Rayleigh-Schroedinger perturbation series.
