Quantum mechanics has about a dozen exactly solvable potentials. Normally, the time-independent Schroedinger equation for them is solved by using a generalized series solution for the bound states (using the Froebenius method) and then an…

We consider PDE eigenvalue problems as they occur in two-dimensional photonic crystal modeling. If the permittivity of the material is frequency-dependent, then the eigenvalue problem becomes nonlinear. In the lossless case, linearization…
