X Abstract

This paper shows that replacing the usual integration variable r[is-an-element-of][0,[infinity]) by a reduced radial variable y[equivalent]y(r;alpha-vector) defined analytically on a finite domain y[is-an-element-of][a,b] transforms the conventional radial Schrödinger equation into an equivalent form in which treatment of levels lying extremely close to dissociation becomes just as straightforward and routine as treating levels in the lower part of the potential well. Explicit integral expressions for the eigenvalue error due to the use of a finite step size in finite-difference methods of numerical integration are presented and are used to improve calculated eigenvalues as well as to determine optimal values of the mapping parameters alpha-vector. This adaptive mapping procedure is shown to be versatile and efficient for both finite-difference and pseudospectral methods.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
