This paper presents an analytical method for calculating the firstorder correlational energy from the electron interaction, taking account of lag effects. Explicit analytical expressions are obtained for radial matrix elements. The nonrelativistic limit is investigated. The given method may be used to calculate correlation effects in higher orders of perturbation theory (second and higher orders with respect to 1/z) using the Strum expansion for the Coulomb Green's functions.
