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.

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.

An eighth order exponentially fitted method is developed for the numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation. The formula considered contains certain free parameters which allow it to be fitted automatically to exponential functions. This is the first eighth order exponentially fitted method in the literature. Numerical results also indicate that the new method is much more accurate than other classical and exponentially fitted methods.

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.

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.

Modified three-derivative Runge–Kutta (MTHDRK) methods for the numerical solution of the resonant state for the Schrödinger equation are investigated. Order conditions are presented and oscillation-fitting conditions are derived. Two practical fifth-order explicit MTHDRK methods are constructed and the error analysis is carried out for large energy. The numerical results are presented for the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation to show the robustness of our new methods.

A two-step method is developed for computing eigenvalues and resonances of the radial Schrödinger equation. Numerical results obtained for the integration of the eigenvalue and the resonance problem for several potentials show that this new method is better than other similar methods.
