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.

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.

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.
