Nature of problem: The present program calculates the excited state Hartree-Fock (HF) radial wave function of a single-electron in the 'frozen core' (FC) field of other electrons. The radial one-electron wave functions of the 'frozen core' are a soLUtion of the corresponding self-consistent field HF problem. The energy eigenvalue for single-electron discrete (bound) states, or the phase shift for continuous states are also calculated.
Solution method: Being a linear integro-differential equation in FC HF equation is solved by iteratively solving the corresponding inhomogeneous differential equation. The differential equation is solved in the same way as in the self-consistent field HF program. The off-diagonal energy parameters are also determined iteratively, while the phase shift for the continuous state is obtained by integrating the differential equation outwards, beyond the cut-off radius, until the asymptotic behaviour is reached.
Restrictions: It may happen that the present program does not give a solution for certain states for which it is known that some resulting off-diagonal energy parameters are approximatley equal to or greater, in absolute value, than the single-particle energy (i.e. the diagonal energy parameter), as for example, for single-particle state ns in the configuration 1 s squared 2sns (1S). The procedure for evaluation of the off-diagonal parameters does not then converge.
Unusual features: The present program is so designed that the direct results of the self- consistent field HF program, stored on a magnetic tape, are taken for the FC states. The indepenent variable in both programs is x= alpha r + beta 1n r, which has behaviour suitable for both small and large values of the radii r.
Running time: The total running time including compilation on the CDC 3600 computer with all peripherals connected on-line, for the excited state configurations of the nitrogen atom with 700 integration points is: (i) about 25 min for 18 different vd radial functions of the configuration 1s squared 2s squared 2p squared vd(4P) (no evaluations of off-diagonal energy parameters); (ii) about 60 min for 18 different vs radial functions of the configuration 1s squared 2s squared 2p squared vs (4P).
