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.

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.
