Abstract
The Galerkin-Petrov method is applied to the determination of the ground state energy of the beryllium atom. The basis set of the coordinate subspace consists of correlated wavefunctions of the combined configuration-interaction-Hylleraas type. The basis set of the projective subspace is of the configuration-interaction type. The usefulness of a previously proposed way of characterization of pairs of subspaces has been further confirmed. Experience in constructing close pairs of subspaces gathered in the case of two-electron systems is used for the larger system. Two methods for constructing pairs of subspaces are used in the calculations.
