Abstract
It is shown that the discretisation of the Griffin-Hill-Wheeler equation is independent of the character of the weight functionf(α). The possibility of obtaining accurate weight functions through discretisation is discussed and the methods proposed are compared with an existing variational technique. The applications include the classical variational problem of representing hydrogen orbitals in terms of Gaussians as an optimal case.
