Popis: A symbolic algebra method for determining democratic hyperspherical harmonics (HH) for three-particle and four-particle systems is given. It is based on a recursion relation that, starting from a complete set of such harmonics for a given value n of the system's grand-canonical angular momentum quantum number, determines a similarly complete set for n + 1. Using this method, all 2.3 million HH for n up to 40 for the three-particle case and all 43.8 million for n up to 30 for the four particle case were determined. The method, details, and results of its implementation are described. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006
