General variational many-body theory with complete self-consistency for trapped bosonic systems
In this work we develop a complete variational many-body theory for a system of $N$ trapped bosons interacting via a general two-body potential. In this theory both the many-body basis functions {\em and} the respective expansion coefficients are treated as variational parameters. The optimal variational parameters are obtained {\em self-consistently} …
