Differential Transfer Matrix Solution of Generalized Eigenvalue Problems

Mathematical Physics 2012-04-30 v5 math.MP

Abstract

We report a new analytical method for solution of a wide class of second-order differential equations with eigenvalues replaced by arbitrary functions. Such classes of problems occur frequently in Quantum Mechanics and Optics. This approach is based on the extension of the previously reported differential transfer matrix method with modified basis functions. Applications of the method to boundary value and initial value problems, as well as several examples are illustrated.
