Abstract
In the present chapter we shall optimize the description within the central-field model by choosing the radial part of the orbitais so that the first-order energy is minimized. This energy could either be that of a particular (LS) term or of the average of a configuration, as discussed at the end of the previous chapter. This process leads to the ordinary Hartree-Fock (HF) model, and it is often called the “restricted” HF procedure, in order to distinguish it from the more general or “unrestricted” HF method, discussed in Chap. 5.
