• observe the effect of the number of basis functions, to the choice of coefficients<br />

λ of the gaussians, to the <strong>in</strong>clusion of P-type gaussians<br />

• compare the obta<strong>in</strong>ed energy with the one obta<strong>in</strong>ed by other methods:<br />

perturbation theory with hydrogen-like wave functions, (Sec.D.1), variational<br />

theory with effective Z (Sec.D.3), exact result (-5.8074 Ry).<br />

• Make a plot of the probability P (r 1 , r 2 ) and of the <strong>di</strong>fference P (r 1 , r 2 ) −<br />

p(r 1 )p(r 2 ), us<strong>in</strong>g for <strong>in</strong>stance gnuplot and the follow<strong>in</strong>g commands:<br />

Note that the probability P (r 1 , r 2 ) (column 3 <strong>in</strong> ”splot”) is not exactly<br />

equal to the product p(r 1 )p(r 2 ) (column 4; column 5 is the <strong>di</strong>fference<br />

between the two).<br />
