The Schrödinger and Riccati Equations (Lecture Notes in Chemistry, 70)

The linear Schrödinger equation is central to Quantum Chemistry. It is presented within the context of relativistic Quantum Mechanics and analysed both in time-dependent and time-independent forms. The Riccati equation is used to study the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. The authors develop the Schrödinger-Riccati equation as an approach to determine solutions of the time-independent, linear Schrödinger equation.
