Optimizing a hybrid two-step method for the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation and related problems with respect to phase-lag. (English) Zbl 1247.65096
Summary: We use a methodology of optimization of the efficiency of a hybrid two-step method for the numerical solution of the radial Schrödinger equation and related problems with periodic or oscillating solutions. More specifically, we study how the vanishing of the phase-lag and its derivatives optimizes the efficiency of the hybrid two-step method.
