Abstract Numerical aspects of the generator coordinate method are discussed in terms of three simple examples: a) the linear harmonic oscillator, b) the He atom and c) the H atom with trial generating functions: a) infinite square-well solutions, b) screened Slater-type orbitals and c) a Gaussian function, respectively. By numerical integration of the Hill Wheeler equation, straightforward and accurate results are obtained for the lower-lying eigenstates of the three cases studied. Some features of the method and the numerical solution are commented upon.
