WKB-based third order method for the highly oscillatory 1D stationary Schrödinger equation (2402.18406v1)

Published 28 Feb 2024 in math.NA and cs.NA

Abstract: This paper introduces an efficient high-order numerical method for solving the 1D stationary Schr\"odinger equation in the highly oscillatory regime. Building upon the ideas from [2], we first analytically transform the given equation into a smoother (i.e. less oscillatory) equation. By developing sufficiently accurate quadratures for several (iterated) oscillatory integrals occurring in the Picard approximation of the solution, we obtain a one-step method that is third order w.r.t. the step size. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are illustrated through several numerical examples.
