A two-dimensional integrodi erential equation resulting from the use of potential harmonics
expansion in the many-body Schr odinger equation is used to study ground-state
properties of selected few-body nuclear systems. The equation takes into account twobody
correlations in the system and is applicable to few- and many-body systems. The
formulation of the equation involves the use of the Jacobi coordinates to de ne relevant
global coordinates as well as the elimination of center-of-mass dependence. The form of
the equation does not depend on the size of the system. Therefore, only the interaction
potential is required as input. Di erent nucleon-nucleon potentials and hyperon-nucleon
potentials are employed to construct the Hamiltonian of the systems. The results obtained
are in good agreement with those obtained using other methods. / Physics
