Abstract
In the present work, we improve a numerical method, developed to solve the Gross-Pitaevkii nonlinear Schroedinger equation. A particular scaling is used in the equation, which permits to evaluate the wave-function normalization after the numerical solution. We have a two point boundary value problem, where the second point is taken at infinity. The differential equation is solved using the shooting method and Runge-Kutta integration method, requiring that the asymptotic constants, for the function and its derivative, are equal for large distances. In order to obtain fast convergence, the secant method is used.
