Abstract
Presents a reassessment of the application of the variation method to the treatment of the Stark effect, together with some features of this problem which have hitherto passed unnoticed. Both the conventional stabilisation method and the minimum variance method are considered. For testing purposes, the hydrogen atom in its ground state is treated as a specific example, but the method can be applied to polyelectronic atoms and excited states.Keywords
