Abstract

The electron repulsion integrals over Slater−type orbitals with non−integer principal quantum numbers are investigated. These integrals are useful in both non−relativistic and relativistic calculations of many−electron systems. They involve hyper−geometric functions that are practically difficult to compute. Relationships free from hyper−geometric functions for expectation values of Coulomb potential are derived. These relationships are new and show that the complication coming from two−range nature of Laplace expansion for the Coulomb potential is removed. This is achieved by utilizing auxiliary functions represented in finite power series. They serve as essential components in deriving straightforward recurrence relationships for electron repulsion integrals. In the context of computing the expectation values of potentials with arbitrary power, the methodology presented here for evaluation of these integrals forms the initial condition. It is also adapted to multi−center integrals.
