Sparse grid spaces for the numerical solution of the electronic Schrödinger equation (Q2574941)

This paper is concerned with the approximate solution of the electronic Schrödinger equation that is used to model the molecular behaviour of some particle systems in quantum mechanics. The author presents some results that complement his recent publication [Numer. Math. 98, 731--759 (2004; Zbl 1062.35100)] by proposing suitable sets of sparse grid trial functions so that the dimension of the trial spaces is reduced to a tractable level. An extensive bibliography that is relevant for the problem under consideration is also included.
