1. introduction For &J a trial wavefunction and H the hamiltonian operator of a given system, Epstein and Hirschfelder [l] demonstrated that for a variation &5 = i W&, with W an hermitian operator, the extremum condition 6E = 0 conducts towards the diagonal hypervirial theorem

the SCF method consists in searching for those optimum functions which make the functional energy E, E(4) = (+lHd),

where

The SCF method is of a variational nature, so that the corresponding SCF wavefunction will satisfy certain hypervirial relationships. When taken into account such relationships provide us with very useful formulas, as will be shown later. The application of the SCF method to coupled oscillator systems has recently been made by Bowman [Z], and by Tobin and Bowman [S]. If we approximate the eigenfunctions of N as a product of basis functions Qi

As an immediate consequence, we can assert that eq. (8) will be valid for any linear operator which is expressible as a sum of one-dimensional linear operators.

We have seen that SCF solutions satisfy the diagonal hypervirial theorems for any unidimensional operator. Now we wish to demonstrate the converse statement: If a product-like function (1) satisfies the diagonal hypervirial theorems for any unidimensionai linear operator, then d is an SCF solution for the system. In order to demonstrate this theorem, we follow Hirschfelder [4]. Assuming 4 reaI and replacing K’(Q) = f(x*)L& (with DC = a/&x, and f(x) an arbitrary function such that fDkQ belongs to the domain of H) in eq. (S), we get

When f has an appropriate form, then it is possible to eliminate all the terms Dk and Di from eqs. (1 l), (15) and (16). For j(xk) =xc we get

From the resolution of eq. (26) we find that the optimum value for b is unique for any iV, and it satisfies the relationship b-0.125

For a = 1, b = 0.66236, and thus (I;) = (xf) = 0.37744. This result corresponds to identical values obtained from eqs. (23) and (24). Model II. This model has a hamiitonian operator H = -$(Df+Df:if(W:XT+

This fact confirms that hypervirial equations (17) are correct. Eqs. (23) and (24) can be solved numerically without further ditiiculties. In order to verify the theorem presented in section 2, we consider the hamiltonian (18) with wf = tvf = 1, and we choose as trial wavefunction for the ground state d(b,~~,~~)=Nexp[-_(xttx~)],

The eigenfunctions of F2 correspond to an harmonic oscillator with an effective frequency

The problem is solved by using eq. (17) for N = 1, k = 1,2. In such a way, we obtain two relationships which relate At with AZ by the simple expression [6]

Eqs. (33) and (34) allow us to express Ai as a function of A?, so that the numerical calculation of the necessary integrals is reduced to only one. The calculation scheme is as follows: we start the iteration cycle with F”’ = Tzi wf.x~/2 which gives us ezz and A:. Then we construct F\” =T,t-wfsfj2i~A:s~tpr.u:. From numerical integration we get e:,. From A:, ~2, and eqs. (33) and (34) we can express A’: as a function of AZ, so that we need to calculate numerically only one of the couple of integrals. tpA~.x~tprA~, and Then we form Fy’ =Fi” so on. This method is really efficient and useful when dealing with a large number of variables, because the necessary matrix elements to be evaluated are drastically reduced and it has a positive effect on the increase of the accuracy and the speed of the calculation. This model can easily be solved for r=O (Barbanis’ hamiltonian) e,, = (n,+&

From previous results presented by Robinson [20] and following our prior discussions in sections l-3, for any operator i[Fk, W(X~,)] with W’(xk) = W(xk), the first order corrections are null, i.e. (+,[[Fk,- W-IS”‘) = 0.

(41)

Due to the fact that the operator W’ is arbitrary, this result can be expressed in the following sentence: the first-order correction to the expectation value of any operator which can be expressed as a so/mof one-coordinate operators vanishes if Hartree wavefunctions are used in its evahiation 1211.

Finally, we point out that SCF wavefunction must obey the Hellmann-Feynman theorem, as previously stated [23-261.
