Description

The exact, four-component second-order Dirac equation in transformed elliptical coordinates is derived for a diatomic system. Numerical solutions are obtained using a point-relaxation approach. The relativistic correction to the total energy of H2+ at R = 2 a.u. is found to be -7.365x10-6 a.u. The deviation from an earlier value of -7.383x10-6 a.u. by Luke et al. or by Bishop is shown to arise from a spuriously large c-4 term in their Hamiltonian. (orig.)
