A unified treatment of the non-relativistic and relativistic hydrogen atom: III. The reduced Green functions (Q3974237)

The paper extends the results of the preceeding ones (cf. the reviews above) to include the non-relativistic and relativistic reduced Coulomb Green functions which arise when the energy variable for the ordinary Coulomb Green function coincides with an energy eigenvalue \[ G_{red}(E')={d\over dz}[(z-E')G(z)]_{z=E'}. \] With the techniques similar to those used in the preceeding papers the recursion relations are deduced for the radial parts of reduced non-relativistic and relativistic Green functions and their matrix elements are examined in detail. As an application the second order effect of a perturbation of the nuclear charge is calculated and shown to agree with the result obtained in standard way.
