Abstract
Electric-dipole transition moments are calculated by a variational procedure which gives rigorous upper and lower bounds even though the exact wave functions are unknown. The method is applied to the lowest optical transition ($1s\ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}2p\ensuremath{\sigma}$) of the hydrogen molecule ion, with satisfactory results.
