✦ Synopsis
We discuss a method of overcoming the large-phase-cancellation problem, due to rapid oscillations of the integrand, which arises when trying to compute far off-diagonal radiative matrix elements; relevant for spectral wings. The method involves (a) distorting the matrix-element integration path from the real axis to a contour in the complex plane, and (b ) solving the Schriidinger equation exactly (numerically) along the contour. The contour is chosen to eliminate, or reduce greatly, the oscillations in the integrand for the matrix element.

It is shown that a generalization of the Fourier convolution theorem can be used to iterate solutions of the many-particle Schrijdinger equation in momentum space. The method is developed both with ordinary coordinates and with hyperspherical coordinates, and as an illustration it is applied to elec
