Comment on the numerical solutions of a new coupled MKdV system (2008 Phys. Scr. 78 045008)

In this comment we point out some wrong statements in the paper by Inc and Cavlak, Phys. Scr. 78 (2008) 04500

Accurate calculation of the complex eigenvalues of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with an exponential potential

We show that the Riccati--Pad\'{e} method is suitable for the calculation of the complex eigenvalues of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a repulsive exponential potential. The accuracy of the results is remarkable for realistic potential parameters

Application of the Asymptotic Iteration Method to a Perturbed Coulomb Model

We show that the asymptotic iteration method converges and yields accurate energies for a perturbed Coulomb model. We also discuss alternative perturbation approaches to that model.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, 1 tabl

Formality of Donaldson submanifolds

We introduce the concept of s-formal minimal model as an extension of formality. We prove that any orientable compact manifold M, of dimension 2n or (2n-1), is formal if and only if M is (n-1)-formal. The formality and the hard Lefschetz property are studied for the symplectic manifolds constructed by Donaldson with asymptotically holomorphic techniques. This study permits us to show an example of a Donaldson symplectic manifold of dimension eight which is formal simply connected and does not satisfy the hard Lefschetz theorem.Comment: 24 pages, no figures, Latex2e; v3. statement of Lemma 2.7 correcte

Accurate calculation of resonances in multiple-well oscillators

Quantum--mechanical multiple--well oscillators exhibit curious complex eigenvalues that resemble resonances in models with continuum spectra. We discuss a method for the accurate calculation of their real and imaginary parts

Simple one-dimensional quantum-mechanical model for a particle attached to a surface

We present a simple one-dimensional quantum-mechanical model for a particle attached to a surface. We solve the Schr\"odinger equation in terms of Weber functions and discuss the behavior of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. We derive the virial theorem and other exact relationships as well as the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues. We calculate the zero-point energy for model parameters corresponding to H adsorbed on Pd(100) and also outline the application of the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method
