Abstract: (APS)
Variational solutions are given for problems involving diverse fermionic and bosonic N=2–7-body systems. The trial wave functions are chosen to be combinations of correlated Gaussians, which facilitate a fully analytical calculation of the matrix elements. The nonlinear parameters of the trial function are selected by a stochastic technique. The method has proved efficient, accurate, and seems feasible for any few-body bound-state problems emerging in atomic or nuclear physics. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
