## Abstract Most commonly the nonorthogonality of geminals is weakly expressed so that the exchange and overlap integrals ζ^(η)^, φ^(η)^ are negligible for large exchange parameters η. The conditions which allow the terms with large η to be discarded are considered. The integrals ζ^(η)^, φ^(η)^ are

Abstract
A scheme for obtaining approximate solutions of the electronic Schrödinger equation is formulated within the context of the method of moments. The flexibility of the method of moments is utilized in the construction of a model based on an antisymmetric product of geminals (APG). This APG model is compared with a model based on an antisymmetric product of strongly orthogonal geminals (APSG). As a test example the advocated APG model is applied to the ground state of ammonia. Our best APG function recovers 37% of the total molecular correlation energy to be compared with an estimated 31% for the best APSG function.

## Abstract A coupled perturbation theory for the antisymmetrized product of separated geminals (APSG) approximation is derived. The variational principle for the APSG wave function in an external oscillating field is employed and a set of equations of the form analogous to the normal RPA is obtain
