Abstract
The Hamiltonian of a system containing decaying states is subjected to a nonunitary similarity transformation which introduces the wave functions of these decaying states as well as those of the "antidecaying" dual states explicitly into the representation. The dependence of the Green's-function pole on these wave functions is used to formulate a variational principle for their determination, yielding a non-Hermitian, nonlinear wave equation including self-energy contributions. Explicit solutions are given in a simple example.
