Abstract

The full analytical solution of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the hydrogen molecular ion H2+H_2^+ (special case of the quantum tree-body problem with the Coulomb interaction) is obtained first. The solution shows that the total wave function is a two-term function in the sense that it is a linear combination of the two linear independent wave functions. The two-term character of the total wave function was visualized in calculations of the total electron density of H2+H_2^+ at different internuclear separations.
