This paper examines the computational efficiency of the method of evaluating nuclear overlap integrals commonly encountered in nuclear reactions. As will be seen, the present formulation yields compact closed-form expressions which will make the calculation of nuclear overlap integrals easy. For practical applications, the computational technique used must be amenable to rapid evaluation and yield an acceptable degree of accuracy. Finally, the ratios I 1 (r) I 0 (r) for the non-Borromean two-nucleon halo systems are calculated by using new formulas which are important for the reaction analyses. The results of this calculation have been compared with those obtained according to one of the theoretical articles (Timofeyuk et al., Phys. Rev. C 68:021601(R), 2003). The same numerical results are presented for significant examples and they are briefly discussed.
