Abstract

The CP (constant reference potential perturbation) methods are specialized methods for the solution of Schrodinger equations. They allow big step sizes and are well suited for oscillatory problems. As an illustration of the power of these methods, oscillating Whittaker functions of the second kind are obtained with high accuracy, using a high-order CP-method.
