A new modified Runge-Kutta-Nyström method of fourth algebraic order is developed. The new modified RKN method is based on the fitting of the coefficients, due to the nullification not only of the phase lag and of the amplification error, but also of their derivatives. Numerical results indicate that the new modified method is much more efficient than other methods derived for solving numerically the Schrödinger equation.

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.

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.

Exponentially and trigonometrically fitted third algebraic order Runge–Kutta methods for the numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation are developed in this paper. Numerical results obtained for several well known problems show the efficiency of the new methods.

New symplectic Partitioned Runge–Kutta (SPRK) methods with phase-lag of order infinity are derived in this paper. Specifically two new symplectic methods are constructed with second and third algebraic order. The methods are tested on the numerical integration of Hamiltonian problems and on the estimation of the eigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation.

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 we present a family of explicit Runge–Kutta methods of 5th algebraic order, one of which has variable coefficients, for the efficient solution of problems with oscillating solutions. Emphasis is placed on the phase-lag property in order to show its importance with regards to problems with oscillating solutions. Basic theory of Runge–Kutta methods, phase-lag analysis and construction of the new methods are described. Numerical results obtained for known problems show the efficiency of the new methods when they are compared with known methods in the literature. Furthermore we note that the method with variable coefficients appears to have much higher accuracy, which gets close to double precision, when the product of the frequency with the step-length approaches certain values. These values are constant and independent of the problem solved and depend only on the method used and more specifically on the expressions used to achieve higher algebraic order.
