Abstract
The asymptotic form of bound-state wave functions is derived by analytic continuation of asymptotic scattering-state wave functions. The result is also regorously derived by using an approach that is independent of scattering theory. One aspect of the result is that the N electron wave function becomes the lowest accessible exact wave function for the remaining N — 1 electrons when one electron is far away from all the nuclei. This shows that the recently developed extended Koopmans' procedures are in principle exact for the first ionization energy.
