    • From this Coulomb function, we can then calculate the logarithmic derivative of U²(r) at the eigenvalue for any value of r outside the core. If there exists a radius R lying in the Coulomb region and sufficiently small that the logarithmic derivative at R is a smooth function of the energy, we can...1955, Frank S.
