In one dimensional systems the fully-interacting Hamiltonian for $N$ electrons has the form  \begin{equation}  \label{eq:1dham}  \hat{H}=\sum_{j=1}^N \left(-\frac{d^2}{dx_j^2}+v_{\rm ext}(x_j)\right)+\sum_{j\lt k}^N ext}(x_j)\right)+\sum_{j  v_{\rm int}(x_j, x_k), \end{equation}  where the interaction potential $v_{\rm int}(x_j, x_k)$ is usually Coulombic, though the following discussion also applies for other types of interaction, including more than two-body ones. In 1D one often uses the soft-Coulomb interaction $1 / \sqrt{(x_j-x_k)^2+1}$, where a softening parameter (usually set to one) is introduced in order to avoid the divergence at $x_j=x_k$, which is non-integrable in 1D.
