Abstract
A diagrammatic many-body perturbation approach using nonorthogonal basis sets is used to derive explicit expressions for an Hermitian effective Hamiltonian matrix. Approximate overcompleteness is shown not to lead to any difficulties provided that an exact inverse of the overlap matrix is obtained. Applications of the formalism to crystal-field calculations are discussed in detail.
