Abstract
An extensive optimization has been performed for the composition ofN terms, as well as the exponent and the mixing coefficients, of Kinoshita wave functions for heliumlike atoms with atomic numberZ. The optimalN-term Kinoshita functions have been constructed forN=1−10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 andZ=1(H−)−10(Ne8+). The present results demonstrate that the optimal term selection dramatically improves the accuracy of the Kinoshita function: In the case of He, for example, the optimal 100-term Kinoshita function gives − 2.903 724 376 95 hartrees, which is only 8×10−11 hartrees higher than the most accurate literature value.
