A recent variational study of the Dirac Coulomb problem using a discrete basis set leads to a conjecture of a type of Hylleraas-Undheim theorem for "positive energy" solutions. Analysis of the matrices involved suggests convergence criteria for the method which may be of use in self-consistent-field calculations.
