Exact and approximate solutions of spectral problems for the Schrödinger operator on (−∞,∞) with polynomial potential

Abstract

New exact representations for the solutions of numerous one-dimensional spectral problems for the Schr¨odinger operator with polynomial potential are obtained by using a technique based on the functional-discrete (FD) method. In cases where the ordinary FD-method is divergent, we propose to use its modification, which proved to be quite efficient. The obtained theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples.
