Energy Corrections

  Since we desire solutions to the system of interest, we set tex2html_wrap_inline3869. This is why the factor of tex2html_wrap_inline3871 was omitted from Eqns 16 - 19.

To find the various energy corrections tex2html_wrap_inline3873 we take advantage of the turnover rule and orthonormality conditions by left multiplying Eqns 16 - 19 by tex2html_wrap_inline3875.
