Besides perturbation theory, which requires the knowledge of the exact unperturbed solution, variational techniques represent the main tool for any investigation of the eigenvalue problem of some semibounded operator H in quantum theory. For a reasonable choice of the employed trial subspace of the domain of H, the lowest eigenvalues of H can be located with acceptable precision whereas the trial-subspace vectors corresponding to these eigenvalues approximate, in general, the exact eigenstates of H with much less accuracy. Accordingly, various measures for the accuracy of approximate eigenstates derived by variational techniques are scrutinized. In particular, the matrix elements of the commutator of the operator H and (suitably chosen) different operators with respect to degenerate approximate eigenstates of H obtained by the variational methods are proposed as new criteria for the accuracy of variational eigenstates. These considerations are applied to that Hamiltonian the eigenvalue problem of which defines the spinless Salpeter equation. This bound-state wave equation may be regarded as the most straightforward relativistic generalization of the usual nonrelativistic Schrödinger formalism, and is frequently used to describe, e.g. spin-averaged mass spectra of bound states of quarks.

The energy spectrum of bound states and hyperfine structure of muonic helium is calculated on the basis of stochastic variational method. The basis wave functions of muonic helium are taken in the Gaussian form. The matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are calculated analytically. For numerical calculation a computer code is written in the MATLAB system. As a result, numerical values of bound state energies and hyperfine structure are obtained. We calculate also correction to the structure of the nucleus, vacuum polarization and relativistic correction.

An application of the recently introduced method [M. Çapak et al., J. Math. Phys. 52, 102102 (2011)] to the bound-state eigenvalue problem in the elementary quarkonium potential V(r) = -a/r + br + cr2 is described, proved and illustrated for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] systems. The quasi- and conditionally-exactly solvable spin-averaged mass spectra of heavy quarkonia are obtained in compact forms. The comparison of the present predictions with those of other theories in the related literature, together with the available data, has shown the success of the model used in this work and also revealed that the use of different confinings in the perturbed Coulomb potential descriptions has no considerable effect on the mass spectra of such systems.

The perturbed Schrödinger eigenvalue problem for bound states is cast into integral form using Green's Functions. A systematic algorithm is developed and applied to the resulting equation giving rise to approximate solutions expressed as functions of the given perturbation parameter. As a by-product, convergence radii for the traditional Rayleigh-Schrödinger and Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theories emerge in a natural way.

Studying the Bethe–Salpeter formalism for interactions instantaneous in the rest-frame of the bound states described, we show that, for bound-state constituents of arbitrary masses, the mass of the ground state of a given spin may be calculated almost entirely analytically with high accuracy, without the (numerical) diagonalization of the matrix representation obtained by expansion of the solutions over a suitable set of basis states.

The energy spectrum of excited bound states of muonic molecules ptμ, pdμ, and dtμ is calculated on the basis of the stochastic variational method. The basis wave functions of the muonic molecule are taken in the Gaussian form. The matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are calculated analytically. For numerical calculation, a computer code was written in the MATLAB system. As a result, the numerical values of bound state energies for excited P-states of muonic molecules ptμ, pdμ and dtμ were obtained.

K−pn and K−pp bound states are searched for at SPring-8/LEPS in the d(γ, K+) and d(γ, K+π−) reactions with photon energies from 1.5 to 2.4 GeV. The data was collected during the 2002-2003 run period utilizing liquid hydrogen and liquid deuterium targets. Using the K+ and K+π− missing mass spectra from the deuteron, we hope to determine upper limits for K−pn and K−pp bound state production.

We solve the one-dimensional time-independent Klein–Gordon equation in the presence of a smooth potential well. The bound state solutions are given in terms of the Whittaker [Formula: see text] function, and the antiparticle bound state is discussed in terms of potential parameters.

We investigate the influence of retardation effects on covariant 3-dimensional wave functions for bound hadrons. Within a quark-(scalar) diquark representation of a baryon, the four-dimensional Bethe–Salpeter equation is solved for a 1-rank separable kernel which simulates Coulombic attraction and confinement. We project the manifestly covariant bound state wave function into three dimensions upon integrating out the non-static energy dependence and compare it with solutions of three-dimensional quasi-potential equations obtained from different kinematical projections on the relative energy variable. We find that for long-range interactions, as characteristic in QCD, retardation effects in bound states are of crucial importance.

A systematic discussion of the probability of eta and KL bound-state decays—[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text](l=e, μ)—within a three-dimensional reduction to the two-body quantum field theory is presented. The bound-state vertex function depends on the relative momentum of constituent-like particles. A structure-transition form factor is defined by a confinement-type quark-antiquark wave function. The phenomenology of this kind of decays is analyzed.
