Asymptotic Parametrices of Elliptic Edge Operators

We study operators on a singular manifold, here of conical or edge type, and develop a new general approach of representing asymptotics of solutions to elliptic equations close to the singularities. The idea is to construct so-called asymptotic parametrices with flat left -over terms. Our structures are motivated by models of particle physics with singular potentials that contribute embedded singularities in $\R^N$ of higher order, according to the number of particles.

Reply to the Comment on: Quantum Monte Carlo study of the dipole moment of CO [J. Chem. Phys. 110, 11700 (1999)]

In our previous publication we have mistakenly claimed that the applicability of the Hellmann-Feynman theorem in fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo calculations is not subject to the manner how the nodal boundary depends on an external parameter. This statement is not correct in general, except where the Hellmann-Feynman force is calculated for a nodal boundary which coincides with that of the unconstrained exact eigenfunction. We point out the error in our arguments and present an explicit expression for the correction term which supplements the Hellmann-Feynman force. This term can be interpreted as the linear response of the energy with respect to variations of the the nodal region.
