A convenient Gauss-Laguerre quadrature formula is presented for integr
ands which depend on the radial coordinates r(1) and r(2) of two bodie
s as well as on their relative distance r(12). This formula generalize
s the analytic method by Calais and Lowdin [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 8,203 (
1962)] to cases when the analytical evaluation is not possible and def
aults to an exact method when it is. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
