A method based on numerical relaxation technique is proposed for solving directly the three-dimensional Euler-Lagrange equation for the density amplitude of conduction electrons in real metals disturbed by the positron. The method has been tested with good results for the positron in an inhomogeneous electron gas. The preliminary calculations of positron screening in lithium give hope for effective applications to real systems.
