Abstract

The effective-bounds formulae for dipole transition moments introduced by Anderson and Weinhold (1974) have been strengthened significantly without altering the approximate wavefunctions by two procedures, each of which modifies the transition operator. Results of simple calculations on the hydrogen atom suggest that highly accurate moments may be obtained from wavefunctions of only modest accuracy.
