A family of new hybrid four-step tenth algebraic order methods with phase-lag of order fourteen is developed for accurate computations of the radial Schrödinger equation. Numerical results obtained for the integration of the phase shift problem for the well known case of the Lennard-Jones potential and for the numerical solution of the coupled equations arising from the Schrödinger equation show that these new methods are better than other finite difference methods.

A family of three new hybrid eighth-algebraic-order two-step methods with phase lag of order 16, 18, and 20 are developed for computing elastic-scattering phase shifts of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. Based on these new methods, we obtain some new embedded variable-step procedures for the numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation. Numerical results obtained for both the integration of the phase-shift problem for the well known case of the Lennard–Jones potential and the integration of coupled differential equation arising from the Schrödinger equation show that these new methods are better than other finite-difference methods.

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.

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.

A hybrid tenth algebraic order two-step method with vanished phase-lag and its first, second, third, fourth and fifth derivatives are obtained in this paper. We will investigate • the construction of the method • the local truncation error (LTE) of the newly obtained method. We will also compare the lte of the newly developed method with other methods in the literature (this is called the comparative LTE analysis) • the stability (interval of periodicity) of the produced method using frequency for the scalar test equation different from the frequency used in the scalar test equation for phase-lag analysis (this is called stability analysis) • the application of the newly obtained method to the resonance problem of the Schrödinger equation. We will compare its effectiveness with the efficiency of other known methods in the literature. It will be proved that the developed method is effective for the approximate solution of the Schrödinger equation and related periodical or oscillatory initial value or boundary value problems.

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.
