Explicit second and fourth algebraic order methods for the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation are developed in this paper. The new methods have free parameters defined so that the methods are fitted to spherical Bessel and Neumann functions. Based on these new methods we obtained a variable-step algorithm. The results produced based on the numerical solution of the radial Schrödinger equation and the coupled differential equations arising from the Schrödinger equation indicate that this new approach is more efficient than other well known ones.

Fourth order exponential and trigonometric fitted Runge–Kutta methods are developed in this paper. They are applied to problems involving the Schrödinger equation and to other related problems. Numerical results show the superiority of these methods over conventional fourth order Runge–Kutta methods. Based on the methods developed in this paper, a variable-step algorithm is proposed. Numerical experiments show the efficiency of the new algorithm.

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.

Two exponentially fitted two-derivative Runge–Kutta (EFTDRK) methods of algebraic order four are derived. The asymptotic expressions of the local errors for large energies are obtained. The numerical results in the integration of the radial Schrödinger equation with the Woods–Saxon potential show the high efficiency of our new methods compared to some famous optimized codes in the literature.

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.

We present here an accurate method for the numerical integration of the radial Schrödinger equation. The formula considered contains free parameter which are defined in order to integrate exponential functions. Numerical results also indicate that the new methods are much more accurate than other Numerov-type well-known 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.
