Wave functions in momentum space. I. Iterative computation for the helium atom in Hartree–Fock approximation

Abstract
The possibilities of obtaining wave functions for atoms and molecules by iteration of equations in momentum space have been examined. Using a first-iterate orbital some approximations to the Hartree–Fock ground state energy have been calculated. The accuracy of these results is strongly dependent on a variation of the parameters that characterize the orbital. The second-iterate orbital contains logarithmic and arctangent functions and there appear unfamiliar special functions in the third- and higher-iterate orbitals.
