An energy eigenproblem for a relativistic N-electron system confined to the interior of a finite volume \mathcal{V} is considered. The confinement is modelled by imposing a local impedance boundary condition at a hypersurface enclosing the hypervolume \mathcal{V}^{N} in the configuration space. It is shown that energy eigenvalues are non-increasing functions of the hypersurface impedance. Variational principles for energy eigenvalues, admitting the use of trial functions which do not obey the boundary condition imposed on exact eigenfunctions, are constructed in a systematic manner. The Dirac–Hartree–Fock method is applied to derive integro-differential equations and local boundary conditions satisfied by one-electron spin orbitals from which the best determinantal approximations to exact eigenfunctions are built. It is proved that the Dirac–Hartree–Fock estimates of exact energy eigenvalues are also non-increasing functions of the hypersurface impedance.
