Continuation of the wave function for higher angular momentum states to D dimensions .2. Elimination of linear dependencies

In a previous paper the authors have developed a finite expansion for the wave function which allows the methods of dimensional scaling to be applied to higher angular momentum states. The terms in the expansion, though, are not necessarily linearly independent and so the expansion requires a little refining. The sources of linear dependence in the expansion for the wave function are explored and protocols for dealing with them are presented. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
