Computing energy eigenvalues of anharmonic oscillators using the double exponential sinc collocation method. (English) Zbl 1360.65197

Summary: A quantum anharmonic oscillator is defined by the Hamiltonian \(\mathcal{H} = - \frac{\operatorname{d}^2}{\operatorname{d} x^2} + V(x)\), where the potential is given by \(V(x) = \sum_{i = 1}^m c_i x^{2 i}\) with \(c_m > 0\). Using the Sinc collocation method combined with the double exponential transformation, we develop a method to efficiently compute highly accurate approximations of energy eigenvalues for anharmonic oscillators. Convergence properties of the proposed method are presented. Using the principle of minimal sensitivity, we introduce an alternate expression for the mesh size for the Sinc collocation method which improves considerably the accuracy in computing eigenvalues for potentials with multiple wells.{ }We apply our method to a number of potentials including potentials with multiple wells. The numerical results section clearly illustrates the high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. All our codes are written in Julia and are available upon request.
