Abstract

In this study, we introduce the pseudospectral methods based on Chebyshev and Legendre polynomials for the Schrödinger equation of anharmonic oscillator. The method transforms the problem into an unsymmetric matrix eigenvalue problem which can be symmetrized by using a suitable similarity transformation. Computation of the zeros of the relevant orthogonal polynomials is also converted into a symmetric matrix eigenvalue problem. The method is applied to the Schrödinger equation of an anharmonic oscillator of various types and the numerical results are discussed.

Keywords: Schrödinger equation; Pseudospectral method; Chebyshev polynomial; Legendre polynomial.
