Abstract
The effect of choosing a Jastrow function of the WKB formexp (−k/r5) for use in the Nosanow cluster calculation of the quantum crystal ground state is studied via a previously developed exact one-dimensional model. The computed convergence rates confirm the inability of this form to resum the cluster expansion so as to provide a meaningful variational minimum.
