Abstract:
A numerical method for the solution of one-dimensional Schrödinger-like equations with arbitrary numerical or analytical potentials is presented. The method takes advantage of matrix algebra for both obtaining several eigenvalues and eigenvectors at the same time and saving computer time. On the other hand, the method illustrates the close relationship between differential and algebraic eigenvalue problems, as well as the mathematical origin of quantization. Several examples are worked out in the text and the procedure for applying a user friendly routine to other problems is given.
