Abstract. As gauge invariance of computed magnetic properties, usually partitioned into
diamagnetic and paramagnetic terms, is not achieved within the
algebraic approximation, unless {\sl ad hoc} techniques are adopted,
a general variational treatment is analyzed, attempting to minimize the term
more difficult to evaluate accurately, i.e., the
paramagnetic contribution to magnetic susceptibility, by means of a gauge
transformation. It is shown that an absolute minimum in a
variational sense cannot be determined a priori. However, a `local' minimum
of the paramagnetic contribution to
magnetic susceptibility can be arrived at by
employing general gauge transformations
of polynomial form.
