An examination of the accuracy of truncated perturbation theory using bounds for the exact energy

B. L. Burrows, M. Cohen, Tova Feldmann

A procedure is developed for assessing the accuracy of a truncated perturbation expansion, which leads to upper and lower bounds to some eigenvalue. Improved bounds, which require a lower bound to the overlap of the approximate and exact wavefunctions, are also considered and a lower bound to the overlap is derived. Two examples are presented, using model problems.

Variational approach to the quantum theory of scattering. II. The Kohn method and Kato eigenvalue problem

H. J. Kolker

Certain similarities between the equations arising in scattering theory and the variational approach to time dependent perturbation theory are used to show that the Kohn variational technique for solving scattering problems is equivalent to a variational method for calculating a special set of eigenfunctions, in terms of which the solution to the scattering problem is expanded. Contrary to the results of previous studies, the error term in the scattering problem is bound from below, and the Kohn method is equivalent to a minimum principle. Levinson's theorem is rederived, and extended to higher energies. On the basis of the theory presented in this study, a new method for calculating upper and lower bounds on the energies of resonance and Ramsauer-Townsend states is suggested.

Some properties of inner projections

Per‐Olov Löwdin

During the last decade, inner projections of positive-definite operators have turned out to be of essential importance for constructing lower bounds to self-adjoint operators which are bounded from below. They have been utilized to construct lower bounds to energy eigenvalues, and to study the wave and reaction operators in modern perturbation theory. In this paper, a brief review is given of some of the basic properties of the inner projections.
