contents The dynamics of a many-particle system are often modeled by mapping the Hamiltonian onto a Schrödinger equation. An alternative approach is to solve the Hamiltonian equations directly in a model space of many-body configurations. In a previous paper the numerical convergence of the two approaches was compared with a simplified treatment of the Hamiltonian representation. Here we extend the comparison to the nonorthogonal model spaces that would be obtained by the generator-coordinate method. With a suitable choice of the collective-variable grid, a configuration-interaction Hamiltonian can reproduce the Schrödinger dynamics very well. However, the method as implemented here requires that the barrier height is not much larger than the zero-point energy in the collective coordinates of the configurations.
