Some embedded modified Runge-Kutta methods for the numerical solution of some specific Schrödinger equations (Q1272666): Difference between revisions

A new embedded modified Runge-Kutta 4(6) Fehlberg method with minimal phase-lag and a block embedded Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method are developed for the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation \(y''(x)=[ V(x)-E ] y(x)\). Two cases are investigated: (i) The potential \(V(x)\) is an even function with respect to \(x\). It is assumed, also, that \(y(x)\to 0\) for \(x\to\pm\infty\). (ii) The general case for the Morse and Woods-Saxon potentials \(V(x)\). The efficiency of the proposed methods is showed by comparing with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 4(5) method.
