The accuracy of this method is tested by computing the ground state of $N$ identical bosons for various systems. A method is proposed to improve the quality of the approximations by modifying the characteristic global quantum number of the method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-07T07:45:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "envelope theory", "few-boson systems", "numerical tests", "characteristic global quantum number", "auxiliary field method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
