Abstract

In this work we construct new Runge-Kutta-Nystrom methods especially designed to integrate exactly the test equation y^''=-w^2y. We modify two existing methods: the Runge-Kutta-Nystrom methods of fifth and sixth order. We apply the new methods to the computation of the eigenvalues of the Schrodinger equation with different potentials such as the harmonic oscillator, the doubly anharmonic oscillator and the exponential potential.
