A two-dimensional, fully numerical approach to the four-component first-order Dirac-differential-equation utilizing the Finite-Element-Method (FEM) is employed for H
and Th
. Using elliptic-hyperbolic coordinates and further one-dimensional singular transformations, scaling transformations and extrapolation techniques (geometrical over iteration steps and logarithmic over grid points) we achieve for the molecules H and Th relative accuracies better than 10-12 for 1(1/2)g energies.
