Abstract
An extended equivalent twobody method for threebody systems is introduced in this article. The method is applied to an atomic threebody system. Energies and wave functions of a heliumlike ion are calculated,which are consistent with the experimental data much better,in contrast to the results obtained by a oneparameter calculus of variations approach. Then we use a twoparameter calculus of variations approach to verify the precision of the ground state energy and wave function obtained by the extended equivalent twobody method. These results indicated that the extended equivalent two body method is applicable to an atomic threebody problem.
