Abstract

Two different calculations are made of lower bounds for the electronic energy of . In the first the method of truncated Hamiltonians due to Bazley and Fox is adapted in such a way that the nuclear charge rather than the energy becomes the eigenvalue. Lower bounds are calculated for the energies of the six lowest σg and six lowest σu states, as well as of the three lowest of both πg and πu symmetries. This approach gives better convergence than when the energy is used as eigenvalue. In the second calculation the method of Temple and Kato is shown to give a satisfactory value for the energy of the ground state, provided that some necessary knowledge of the energy of the first-excited state is available.
