Which basis functions?
ØAssuming problems on the binary hypercube, consider case of global min. at opposite diagonal, and in direction of largest eigenvalue of Hessian at local min.
ØPlace Gaussian of width equal to HO groundstate of local min., in global min.
ØCompute overlap integrals between local min HO eigenstates and Gaussian.
