โฆ Synopsis
A simple extension of a method by Calogero and Marchioro for constructing lower bound problems for ground states of systems of indistinguishable particles is applied to atomic systems. Their method is extended to yield an improved lower bound problem, which raises the ground-state estimate and yields nontrivial lower bounds to excited states that were previously inaccessible by their method. Rigorous upper bounds to atomic ionization energies are also derived.

We prove lower bounds for the Dirichlet energy of a unit vector field defined in a perforated domain of R 2 with nonzero degree on the outer boundary in terms of the total diameter of the holes. We use this to derive lower bounds, and then compactness results for sequences (u = ) of minimizers or al
Lower-bound estimates for the ground-state energy of the helium atom are determined using nonlinear programming techniques. Optimized lower bounds are determined for single-particle, radially correlated, and general correlated wave functions. The local nature of the method employed makes it a very s
