An eighth order exponentially fitted method is developed for the numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation. The formula considered contains certain free parameters which allow it to be fitted automatically to exponential functions. This is the first eighth order exponentially fitted method in the literature. Numerical results also indicate that the new method is much more accurate than other classical and exponentially fitted methods.

A new trigonometrically fitted fifth-order two-derivative Runge-Kutta method with variable nodes is developed for the numerical solution of the radial Schrödinger equation and related oscillatory problems. Linear stability and phase properties of the new method are examined. Numerical results are reported to show the robustness and competence of the new method compared with some highly efficient methods in the recent literature.

It is shown that the "new" method of rapid solution of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation proposed by Newman and Thorson is equivalent to the well known phase–amplitude method.

In this paper, a new approach for developing efficient Runge–Kutta–Nyström methods is introduced. This new approach is based on the requirement of annihilation of the phase-lag (i.e., the phase-lag is of order infinity) and on a modification of Runge–Kutta–Nyström methods. Based on this approach, a new modified Runge–Kutta–Nyström fourth algebraic order method is developed for the numerical solution of Schrödinger equation and related problems. The new method has phase-lag of order infinity and extended interval of periodicity. Numerical illustrations on the radial Schrödinger equation and related problems with oscillating solutions indicate that the new method is more efficient than older ones.

A new twelfth-order four-step formula containing fourth derivatives for the numerical integration of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation has been developed. It was found that by adding multi-derivative terms, the stability of a linear multi-step method can be improved and the interval of periodicity of this new method is larger than that of the Numerov's method. The numerical test shows that the new method is superior to the previous lower orders in both accuracy and efficiency and it is specially applied to the problem when an increasing accuracy is requested.
