Abstract
For an arbitrary integerN, the expansion theorem
is derived by an induction method, which yields explicit expressions for the expansion coefficientT l,k N. Such expansions are useful in molecular theory because functions (r′)N withN′=|r > −r <| are contained in many operators. This investigation provides also a basis for the derivations of expansion theorems for more complicated functions which will be dealt with in later articles of this series.
