✦ Synopsis


In order to understand more fully some recent lower-bound computations For Gaussian expansions of the H-atom ground state, a study of the local energy for these wavefunctions has been made. It is found that the "local kinetic energy " TV/U (T = kinetic energy operator; cp = wavefunction) is quite oor near the nucleus, and it is shown how this gives poor accuracy for the energy variance (8()2>-(%)g and
