A new harmonic oscillator (HO) expansion method for calculation of the non-relativistic ground state energy of the Coulomb non-identical three-particle systems is presented. The HO expansion basis with different size parameters in the Jacobi coordinates instead of only one unique oscillator length parameter in the traditional treatment is introduced. This method is applied to calculate the ground state energy of a number of Coulomb three-particle systems for up to 28 excitation HO quanta. The obtained results suggest that the HO basis with different size parameters in the Jacobi coordinates could lead to significant increasing of the rate of convergence for the ground state energy than in the traditional approach.

The variational method in oscillator representation with individual parameters for each Jacobi coordinate is applied to the non-relativistic calculation of the ground state energy of a number of three-particle Coulomb systems, consisting of two identical particles and a different one. The accuracy and convergence rate of the calculations in the constructed oscillator basis are studied up to a total of 28 oscillator quanta. The results are compared with those of the traditional approach using only one such nonlinear variational parameter. The method with individual parameters for Jacobi coordinates is found to possess a number of advantages as compared to the traditional approach.

A three-parameter variational trial function is used to determine an upper bound to the ground-state energy of the spiked harmonic-oscillator Hamiltonian [Formula: see text]. The entire parameter range λ > 0 and α ≥ 1 is treated in a single elementary formulation. The method of potential envelopes is also employed to derive a complementary energy lower bound formula valid for all the discrete eigenvalues.

We derive a set of improving uniform upper bounds to the ground state energy of a quantum system, which provides a natural generalization of the Ritz variational principle. The bounds have a general character, do not depend on the structure of Hamiltonian of a quantum system and converge to its exact ground state energy. As an illustration of the method proposed, we consider a simple example of the shifted harmonic oscillator.
