Summary
Molecular Hartree-Fock equations for iteration-variation calculations in momentum space based on trial functions expressed as linear combinations of spherical Gaussian functions are obtained. They are applied to the hydrogen molecule to test their validity. The significant improvements brought by a first iteration are accessed through an asymptotic analysis.
