In this paper, a new Runge–Kutta–Nyström method of fourth algebraic order is developed. The new method has zero phase-lag, zero amplification error and zero first integrals of the previous properties. Numerical results indicate that the new method is very efficient for solving numerically the Schrödinger equation. We note that for the first time in the literature we use the requirement of vanishing the first integrals of phase-lag and amplification error in the construction of efficient methods for the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation.

An embedded Runge–Kutta method with phase-lag of order infinity for the numerical integration of Schrödinger equation is developed in this paper. The methods of the embedded scheme have algebraic orders five and four. Theoretical and numerical results obtained for radial Schrödinger equation and for coupled differential equations show the efficiency of the new methods.

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.

Exponentially and trigonometrically fitted third algebraic order Runge–Kutta methods for the numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation are developed in this paper. Numerical results obtained for several well known problems show the efficiency of the new methods.
