The Lagrange-mesh method is a powerful method to solve eigenequations written in configuration space. It is very easy to implement and very accurate. Using a Gauss quadrature rule, the method requires only the evaluation of the potential at some mesh points.

The Lagrange-mesh method is a very accurate procedure for computing eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a two-body quantum equation written in the configuration space. Using a Gauss quadrature rule, the method only requires the evaluation of the potential at some mesh points. The eigenfunctions are expanded in terms of regularized Lagrange functions, which vanish at all mesh points except one.

The Lagrange mesh method is a very simple procedure to accurately solve eigenvalue problems starting from a given nonrelativistic or semirelativistic two-body Hamiltonian with local or nonlocal potential. We show in this work that it can be applied to solve the inverse problem, namely, to find the equivalent local potential starting from a particular bound-state wave function and the corresponding energy. In order to check the method, we apply it to several cases which are analytically solvable: the nonrelativistic harmonic oscillator and Coulomb potential, the nonlocal Yamaguchi potential and the semirelativistic harmonic oscillator.

This approximation allows a correct treatment of the confinement, assumed here to be similar to a Y junction. With only color antitriplet diquarks, the mass of the pentaquark candidate Theta with positive parity is found around 2.

The Lagrange mesh method is a very accurate and simple procedure to compute eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of nonrelativistic and semirelativistic Hamiltonians. We show here that it can be used successfully to solve the equations of both the relativistic flux tube model and the rotating string model, in the symmetric case. Verifications of the convergence of the method are given.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe Lagrange mesh method is a very powerful procedure to compute eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of nonrelativistic Hamiltonians. The trial eigenstates are developed in a basis of well-chosen functions and the computation of Hamiltonian matrix elements requires only the evaluation of the potential at grid points. It is shown that this method can be used to solve semirelativistic two-body eigenvalue equations.

Bound state eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a Schrodinger equation or a spinless Salpeter equation can be simply and accurately computed by the Fourier grid Hamiltonian (FGH) method. It requires only the evaluation of the potential at equally spaced grid points, and yields the eigenfunctions at the same grid points. The Lagrange-mesh (LM) method is another simple procedure to solve a Schrodinger equation on a mesh.
