Abstract
The renormalized Numerov method, which was recently developed and applied to the one‐dimensional bound state problem [B. R. Johnson, J. Chem. Phys. 67, 4086 (1977)], has been generalized to compute bound states of the coupled‐channel Schroedinger equation. Included in this presentation is a generalization of the concept of a wavefunction node and a method for detecting these nodes. By utilizing node count information it is possible to converge to any specific eigenvalue without the need of an initial close guess and also to calculate degenerate eigenvalues and determine their degree of degeneracy. A useful interpolation formula for calculating the eigenfunctions at nongrid points is also given. Results of example calculations are presented and discussed. One of the example problems is the single center expansion calculation of the 1sσg and 2sσg states of H+2.
