Abstract
The Schrödinger equation for helium is written as a generalized eigenvalue equation and this is solved perturbatively for the ground state. The zero order equation is taken to be that of a “six‐dimensional hydrogen atom” since, in generalized eigenvalue form, this has a discrete spectrum. Although the zero‐order wave function is very poor and gives only 86% of the energy the perturbation procedure is able to improve this to 99% through third‐order.

## Abstract A Brillouin‐Wigner perturbation expansion is derived for the generalized eigenvalue equation (__F__~0~ + __F__~1~)Ψ = μ__A__Ψ. The theory is applied through second order to calculate the ground‐state energies of the helium atom and the hydrogen molecular ion. The results are compared wi
