A first-order differential equation of Green's function, at the origin G(0), for the one-dimensional lattice is derived by simple recurrence relation. Green's function at site (m) is then calculated in terms of G(0). A simple recurrence relation connecting the lattice Green's function at the site (m, n) and the first derivative of the lattice Green's function at the site (m ± 1, n) is presented for the two-dimensional lattice, a differential equation of second order in G(0, 0) is obtained. By making use of the latter recurrence relation, lattice Green's function at an arbitrary site is obtained in closed form. Finally, the phase shift and scattering cross-section are evaluated analytically and numerically for one- and two-impurities.

Abstract Using an old formulation for correlation functions with correct cusp-behaviour, the Schrödinger equation transforms to a new differential equation which provides a very simple expression for the local electronic energy with limited range. This, together with the simplicity of the formulation promises a high performance in Green's function Monte Carlo (GFMC) simulations of small electronic systems. The behaviour of the local energy is studied on a few simple examples because the variance of this function determines the quality of the results in the GFMC methods. Calculations for one-and two-electron systems are presented and compared with results from well-known functions. The form of the function is then extended to systems with more than two electrons. Results for the Be atom are given and the extension to larger electronic systems is discussed.
