Relativistic Coulomb Integrals and Zeilberger's Holonomic Systems
Approach. I    [PDF]

Peter Paule, Sergei K. Suslov

With the help of computer algebra we study the diagonal matrix elements , where O are the standard Dirac matrix operators and the angular brackets denote the quantum-mechanical average for the relativistic Coulomb problem. Using Zeilberger's extension of Gosper's algorithm and a variant to it, three-term recurrence relations for each of these expectation values are derived together with some transformation formulas for the corresponding generalized hypergeometric series. In addition, the virial recurrence relations for these integrals are also found and proved algorithmically.
