The ground state binding energy of few particles in an infinite one-dimensi
onal periodic and quasiperiodic lattice is investigated rigorously in a Hub
bard-Iike model, using a real-space method. We studied the three-body probl
em in the periodic lattice with correlated hoppings, for the case of non-pa
rallel spin in an infinite linear chain, applying the generalized Hubbard H
amiltonian. The correlation is studied for different values of the hopping
parameters as well as the on-site and the inter-site interactions. The resu
lts show an effect of the frustration of antibonding states on the pairing
behavior. In the case of one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattice we give some
preliminary results for two electrons with non-parallel spin. (C) 1999 Els
