The hydrogen-ion molecule has been used as a test system for the applicatio
n of the Schrodinger-Riccati formulation to molecular calculations. Some of
the points discussed are the characteristics (quasicon-stancy of the local
energies, size, number of points) of the sampling region to be chosen, the
dependence on the starting function, the precision of the calculations, an
d the excellent behaviour of the predicted function (by comparison to an ac
curate function).
