Simple final formulae are obtained for the normalization factors of wavefunctions for bound states in a one-dimensional, single-well potential, when use is made of certain arbitrary-order phase-integral approximations, which may be modified in a convenient way.

## Abstract By a general argument, it is shown that Herglotz wave functions are dense (with respect to the C^β^(Ξ©)βtopology) in the space of all solutions to the reduced wave equation in Ξ©. This is used to provide corresponding approximation results in global spaces (eg. in L2βSobolevβspaces __H__^
When studying the approximation of the wave functions of the \(H\)-atom by sums of Gaussians, Klopper and Kutzelnigg [KK] and Kutzelnigg [Ku] found an asymptotic of \(\exp [-\gamma \sqrt{n}]\). The results were obtained from numerical results and justified by some asymptotic expansions in quadrature
