17. Point nucleon radii of nuclei are calculated with the operator r 2. However, unlike the Hamiltonian, r 2 is not a bounded operator and therefore has no convergence theorems. See, for example, W. N. Polyzou, Phys. Rev. C PRVCAN 0556-2813 10.1103/PhysRevC.58.91 58, 91 (1998).

19. Schwartz gives an example of a variational calculation in which at the early, or even at intermediate, stages the convergence is governed by a general shape-fitting to the many-body wave function and the convergence appears exponential. But it occurs that eventually this part of the problem is well satisfied and the convergence settles down to a slower power rate in response to some weak singularity that contributes only a very small part of the entire problem.

38. One should be aware that the variational principle guarantees only an extremum which could be a stationary point rather than a minimum. Examples of cases in which the ground-state energy does not increase with an increase in N for a limited range of are discussed by L. Majling, J. Å̃izek, Z. Pluhaur, and Yu. F. Smirnov [J. Phys. G JPHGBM 0305-4616 10.1088/0305-4616/2/6/ 004 2, 357 (1976)].
39. The odd-even effect of Fig. of and of is related and all three articles should serve as a warning against arbitrary assumptions about convergence in N.
