Computing scattering resonances (Q6057873)

Summary: The question of whether it is possible to compute scattering resonances of Schrödinger operators -- independently of the particular potential -- is addressed. A positive answer is given, with the potential merely required to be \(\mathcal{C}^1\) and have compact support. The proof is constructive, providing a universal algorithm which only needs to access the values of the potential at any requested point. Numerical examples are provided and compared with known results.
