The eigenvalues of the radial Schrodinger equation are calculated very accurately by obtaining exact upper and lower bounds. By truncating the usual unbounded domain [0,infinity) of the system to a finite interval of the form [0,l], two auxiliary eigenvalue problems are defined. It is then proved that the eigenvalues of the resulting confined systems provide upper and lower bounds converging monotonically to the true eigenvalues required. Moreover, each auxiliary eigenvalue problem gives rise to an orthonormal set involving Bessel functions. The matrix representation of the Hamiltonian is, therefore, derived by expanding the wave function into a Fourier-Bessel series. Numerical results for single- and double-well polynomial oscillators as well as Gaussian type non-polynomial potentials illustrate that the eigenvalues can be calculated to an arbitrary accuracy, whenever the boundary parameter l is in the neighborhood of some critical value, denoted by l(cr).

Approximate analytical solutions of a two-term diatomic molecular potential with centrifugal barrier Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (2012-08-01) Approximate analytical bound state solutions of the radial Schrodinger equation are studied for a two-term diatomic molecular potential in terms of the hypergeometric functions for the cases where q >= 1 and q = 0. The energy eigenvalues and the corresponding normalized wave functions of the Manning-Rosen potential, the 'standard' Hulthen potential and the generalized Morse potential are briefly studied as special cases. It is observed that our analytical results are the same with the ones obtained before.
On the consistency of the solutions of the space fractional Schroumldinger equation (vol 53, 042105, 2012) Bayin, Selcuk S. (2012-08-01) Recently we have reanalyzed the consistency of the solutions of the space fractional Schroumldinger equation found in a piecewise manner, and showed that an exact and a proper treatment of the relevant integrals prove that they are consistent. In this comment, for clarity, we present additional information about the critical integrals and describe how their analytic continuation is accomplished.
Accurate numerical bounds for the spectral points of singular Sturm-Liouville problems over -infinity < x <infinity Taşeli, Hasan (2000-03-01) The eigenvalues of singular Sturm-Liouville problems are calculated very accurately by obtaining rigorous upper and lower bounds. The singular problem over the unbounded domain (-infinity,infinity) is considered as the limiting case of an associated problem on the finite interval [-l,l]. It is then proved that the eigenvalues of the resulting regular systems satisfying Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions provide, respectively, upper and lower bounds converging monotonically to the required asymptotic ...
An eigenfunction expansion for the Schrodinger equation with arbitrary non-central potentials Taşeli, Hasan; Uğur, Ömür (2002-11-01) An eigenfunction expansion for the Schrodinger equation for a particle moving in an arbitrary non-central potential in the cylindrical polar coordinates is introduced, which reduces the partial differential equation to a system of coupled differential equations in the radial variable r. It is proved that such an orthogonal expansion of the wavefunction into the complete set of Chebyshev polynomials is uniformly convergent on any domain of (r, theta). As a benchmark application, the bound states calculations...
Two-level finite element method with a stabilizing subgrid for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations NESLİTÜRK, ALİ İHSAN; Aydın Bayram, Selma; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2008-10-20) We consider the Galerkin finite element method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions. The domain is discretized into a set of regular triangular elements and the finite-dimensional spaces emploved consist of piecewise continuous linear interpolants enriched with the residual-free bubble functions. To find the bubble part of the Solution, a two-level finite element method with a stabilizing subgrid of a single node is described, and its application to the Navier-Stokes equation is ...
