On the Stability of Finite Difference Scheme for the Schrödinger Equation Including Momentum Operator

Abstract

In this paper, we apply the finite difference method to a Schrödinger equation which contains a momentum operator. For this, we constitute a difference scheme. A priori estimate for the solution of difference scheme is obtained. By using this estimate, we prove that the difference scheme is unconditionally stable.

Keywords
