Analytic and approximate solutions are obtained by first using a coordinate transformation to reduce the Schroedinger equation to a second-order differential equation with an appropriate form. The asymptotic iteration method is also employed indirectly to obtain the terms in perturbation expansions, both for the energies and for the corresponding eigenfunctions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-09T01:29:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "approximate solutions", "schroedingers equation", "asymptotic iteration method", "one-dimensional trigonometric potentials", "second-order differential equation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Central European Journal of Physics", "year": 2013, "month": "Jan", "volume": 11, "number": 1, "pages": 37 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013CEJPh..11...37C" } } }
