3. In the literature, the expression "Hartree approximation" has been used in two senses. (1) The electrons are acted on by the potential of the nucleus and the total electronic charge distribution: and (2) the electronic self-interaction is removed. In this paper, we use the simpler (1), but our conclusions apply to (2) as well.
