Generalized overlap amplitudes (GOAS) are calculated between the lithium atom and several states of Li + . An examination of the long‐range behavior of the GOAS indicates that they are coupled, appearing to have the same exponential decay at large r . At intermediate distances from the nucleus, the GOAS decay with their unique exponential rate and the decay rates only merge at large r . Although many of the GOAS appear to be similar, their distinctness indicates that they may, in fact, be linearly independent. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
