We discuss the relationship between exact solvability of the Schrödinger equation with a position-dependent mass and the ordering ambiguity in the Hamiltonian operator within the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The one-dimensional Schrödinger equation, derived from the general form of the effective mass Hamiltonian, is solved exactly for a system with exponentially changing mass in the presence of a potential with similar behaviour, and the corresponding supersymmetric partner Hamiltonians are related to the effective-mass Hamiltonians proposed in the literature.

It is shown that a nonsolvable third-order hyperbolic potential becomes quasi-exactly solvable after the introduction of a hyperbolic effective mass step. Stationary energies andL2-solutions of the corresponding Schrödinger equation are obtained in explicit form.

AbstractWe present a class of confining potentials which allow one to reduce the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation to a named equation of mathematical physics, namely either Bessel’s or Whittaker’s differential equation. In all cases, we provide closed form expressions for both the symmetric and antisymmetric wavefunction solutions, each along with an associated transcendental equation for allowed eigenvalues. The class of potentials considered contains an example of both cusp-like single wells and a double-well.

A new twelfth-order four-step formula containing fourth derivatives for the numerical integration of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation has been developed. It was found that by adding multi-derivative terms, the stability of a linear multi-step method can be improved and the interval of periodicity of this new method is larger than that of the Numerov's method. The numerical test shows that the new method is superior to the previous lower orders in both accuracy and efficiency and it is specially applied to the problem when an increasing accuracy is requested.
