An explicit numerical-analytical method is demonstrated for accurate solving the Schrödinger equation in those cases when this equation reducible to a system of n coupled ordinary differential equations with singular points. Fundamental system of solutions is constructed as algebraic combinations of power series, power functions and logarithmic function in the neighbourhood of the regular singular point and as asymptotic expansions of solutions in the neighbourhood of the irregular singular point. The method is based on the calculation of recurrent sequences of constant matrices of coefficients in power series and in inverse power series in asymptotic expansions using derived recurrent relations, that makes possible to calculate solutions at any given point using only algebraic computations and elementary functions. In turn it makes possible to solve accurately the eigenvalue problem and scattering problem and to derive analytical expressions for the wavefunctions. The method is applied to calculations of energies and wavefunctions of the discrete spectrum and wave functions of the continuous spectrum of the hydrogen-like atoms and of acceptors in semiconductors.References
