Abstract
In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. A 30, 1229 (1984)] we applied the scaling variational method formulated in terms of the SO(2,1) dynamical group to screened Coulomb potentials. Here we generalize that method by scaling a linear combination of SO(2,1) basis states, solving for the eigenvalues by determinant, and minimizing through a search algorithm. The method is applied with high accuracy to the simple Yukawa potential.Keywords
