Abstract
It has been shown previously that a new type of molecular bound state can result from corrections to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. It is shown here that “new” bound and resonance states can occur in a variety of problems involving coupled wave equations. Several examples are discussed, the most important one involving the bound and resonance states of van der Waals complexes.
