A new general multistep predictor-corrector (PC) pair form is introduced for the numerical integration of second-order initial-value problems. Using this form, a new symmetric eight-step predictor-corrector method with minimal phase-lag and algebraic order ten is also constructed. The new method is based on the multistep symmetric method of Quinlan–Tremaine,1 with eight steps and 8th algebraic order and is constructed to solve numerically the radial time-independent Schrödinger equation. It can also be used to integrate related IVPs with oscillating solutions such as orbital problems. We compare the new method to some recently constructed optimized methods from the literature. We measure the efficiency of the methods and conclude that the new method with minimal phase-lag is the most efficient of all the compared methods and for all the problems solved.

Some two-step P-stable methods with phase-lag of order infinity are developed for the numerical integration of the radial Schrödinger equation. The methods are of O(h2) and O(h4) respectively. We produce, based on these methods and on a new local error estimate, a very simple variable step procedure. Extensive numerical testing indicates that these new methods are generally more accurate than other two-step methods with higher algebraic order.

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 high algebraic order symmetric eight-step method is introduced. For this method, a direct formula for the computation of the phase-lag is given. Based on this formula, an eight-step symmetric method with minimal phase-lag is developed. The new method has better stability properties than the classical one. Numerical illustrations on the radial Schrödinger equation indicate that the new method is more efficient than older ones.
