The Fourier transform of the nonlocal term in the resulting integral-differential equation is expanded to second-order terms, and the equation is reduced to a differential equation. An iterative method is used to obtain a self-consistent solution. Several expansion procedures were tried, and in all cases the iterations converged to reasonable values for potentials, wave functions, and binding energies for 016.73 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
