A simple method has been developed to generate the matrix elements of the operator exp (—βξ2) in the representation of the harmonic oscillator. These matrix elements are useful in double-minimum problems where the potential energy function may conveniently be represented by a perturbed harmonic oscillator with a Gaussian barrier. Some representative calculations involving such potential wells will also be presented.
