Calculation of eigenvalues of the discrete spectrum of the Schrödinger equation for arbitrary one-dimensional finite even potential wells (Q848026)

The author presents a method for the calculation of the discrete eigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation with finite potentials. \[ \Psi_n^{\prime\prime}(x) - (k^2_n + V(x)\Psi_n(x) = 0, \] \( \Psi_n(x) \to 0\) at \( x \to \pm \infty, \Psi^prime (x) \to 0\) at \(x \to \pm \infty\), \(|V(x)| \leq A >0, V(x) \leq 0, V(x) \to 0 \) at \(x \to \pm \infty\), \(V(x) = V(-x)\).
