文摘

This work presents a convenient way to solve the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation numerically for a general three-particle system including full correlation and mass polarization. Both Coulombic and non-Coulombic interactions can be studied. The eigensolver is based on a second order dynamical system treatment (particle method). The Hamiltonian matrix never needs to be realized. The wavefunction evolves towards the steady state solution for which the Schrödinger equation is fulfilled. Subsequent Richardson extrapolations for several meshes are then made symbolically in matlab to obtain the continuum solution. The computer C code is tested under Linux 64 bit and both double and extended precision versions are provided. Test runs are exemplified and, when possible, compared with corresponding values in the literature. The computer code is small and self contained making it unusually simple to compile and run on any system. Both serial and parallel computer runs are straight forward.

Nature of problem: The Schrödinger equation for an arbitrary three-particle system is solved using finite differences and a fast particle method for the eigenvalue problem [20, 21, 23].

Solution method:   A fast eigensolver is applied (see Appendix). This solver works for both symmetrical and nonsymmetrical matrices (which opens up for more accurate nonsymmetrical finite difference expressions to be applied at the boundaries). The three-particle Schrödinger equation is transformed in two major steps. First step is to introduce the function ext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465515004038&_mathId=si82.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465515004038&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=897ad5734be3eab77fb1f4bd72d3692f" title="Click to view the MathML source">Q(r₁,r₂,μ)=r₁r₂(1−μ²)φ(r₁,r₂,μ)$Q(r_1,r_2,\mu )=r_1{r}_2(1-{\mu }^2)\phi (r_1,r_2,\mu )$, where ext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465515004038&_mathId=si83.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465515004038&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=4e6462919f547f66b48fc22c94b95ef5" title="Click to view the MathML source">μ=cos(0₁₂)$\mu =cos\left(0_{12}\right)$.

This simplifies the mathematics and numerical treatments. Several different grids can naturally run completely independent of each other thus making parallel computations trivial. From several grid results the physical property of interest is extrapolated to continuum space. The extrapolations are made in a matlab m-script where all computations can be made symbolically so the loss of decimal figures are minimized during this process. The computer code, including correlation effects and mass polarization, is highly optimized and deals with either triangular or quadratic domains in ext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465515004038&_mathId=si93.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465515004038&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=90911e5ec2e93d1cea1babd7b1908971" title="Click to view the MathML source">(x₁,x₂)$(x_1,x_2)$.

Restrictions: The amount of CPU time may become unreasonable for states needing boundary conditions very far beyond the origin. Also if the condition number of the corresponding Hamiltonian matrix is very high, the number of iterations will grow. The use of double precision computations also puts a limit on the accuracy of extrapolated results to about 6–7 decimal figures.

Unusual features: The numerical solver is based on a particle method presented in [20, 21, 23]. In the Appendix we provide specific details of dealing with eigenvalue problems. The program uses a 64 bit environment (Linux 64bit). Parallel runs can be made conveniently through a simple bash script.

Additional comments: The discretized wavefunction is complete on every given grid. New interactions can therefore conveniently be added to the Hamiltonian without the need to seek for an appropriate basis set.
