The variation-perturbation method for time-dependent problems was applied to many-electron systems. Specific formulas were developed for the steady-state dipolar interaction between an oscillating electric field and an atom or molecule whose wavefunction is approximated by a Hartree-Fock determinant. The method is illustrated by a number of calculations for the helium atom. Theoretical expressions for the dynamic polarizability, refractive index, and Verdet constant (Faraday effect) were obtained. Comparison with the avaliable measurements shows good agreement between the experimental and the theoretical values. (auth)
