Abstract

Electron correlation, the primordial reason why chemistry remains analytically intractable from a mathematical point of view, is explored using a two-particle-in-a-box example showing why solving even the simplest correlation problem remains beyond our abilities.

- The Variation Method and Correlation: A Simple Example
  J. Tortajada
  Journal of Chemical Education2003 80 (8), 927
  A simple two-dimensional system is used to introduce the variation method in its most general form, namely functional variation. The simplicity of the system makes it easy to apply this procedure and solve wave equations exactly, so that variational and ...
