Different variational schemes for solving the Schrodinger equation are tested for the model potential of Kratzer-Fues. Wavefunctions are analyzed in terms of their global (expectation values) and local properties which are expressed as functions of coordinates. The Rayleigh-Ritz variation almost uniformly produces the most accurate expectation values. However the point properties show qualitatively different behaviour for different regions of the coordinate space. To define the local quality, a set of criteria is proposed.

Algebraic approaches to eigenvalue equations: The Wronskian method Yurtsever, Ersin (Elsevier BV, 1987-11) A recently proposed method for the solution of eigenvalue equations is applied to two different model potentials. Considerable improvements are observed if the algebraic requirements of the Wronskian method are enforced over a region instead of at a single point.
Pseudospin and Spin Symmetric Solutions of the Dirac Equation: Hellmann Potential, Wei-Hua Potential, Varshni Potential Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2014-03-01) Approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation are obtained for the Hellmann potential, the Wei-Hua potential, and the Varshni potential with any K-value for the cases having the Dirac equation pseudospin and spin symmetries. Closed forms of the energy eigenvalue equations and the spinor wave functions are obtained by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method and some tables are given to see the dependence of the energy eigenvalues on different quantum number pairs (n, K).
A Numerical Study of a Modular Sparse Grad-Div Stabilization Method for Boussinesq Equations Demir, Medine; Kaya Merdan, Songül (2019-10-10) This study presents a modular sparse grad-div stabilization method for solving the Boussinesq equations. Unlike the usual grad-div stabilization which produces fully coupled block matrices, the proposed stabilization method produces block upper triangular matrices. Thus, the proposed method is more attractive in terms of both its computational cost and solution accuracy. We provide unconditional stability results for velocity and temperature. Two numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the effici...
A General Approach for the Exact Solution of the Schrodinger Equation TEZCAN, CEVDET; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-02-01) The Schrodinger equation is solved exactly for some well known potentials. Solutions are obtained reducing the Schrodinger equation into a second order differential equation by using an appropriate coordinate transformation. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the calculations to get energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions.
Improved analytical approximation to arbitrary l-state solutions of the Schrodinger equation for the hyperbolical potentials IKHDAİR, SAMEER; Sever, Ramazan (Wiley, 2009-10-01) The Schrodinger equation for the rotational-vibrational (ro-vibrational) motion of a diatomic molecule with empirical potential functions is solved approximately by means of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The approximate energy spectra and the corresponding normalized total wavefunctions are calculated in closed form and expressed in terms of the hypergeometric functions or Jacobi polynomials P-n((mu,nu)) (x), where mu > -1, nu > -1 and x is an element of[-1, +1]. The s-waves analytic solution is obtained. Th...
