Description

The asymptotic behavior of the coefficients a/sub n/ in the expansion of the ground-state energy of the hydrogen molecular ion in terms of the inverse powers of the internuclear separation is found to be a/sub n/=-(n+1)exclamation2/sup -n/e-2[1+2n-1-20n-2-45n-3 +O(n-4)]. The first two terms of this numerically obtained expression agree with the ''asymptotic conjecture'' involving the lowest excitation energy of H2+
