Abstract

A new local boundary condition is designed for the two dimensional Schrödinger equation under polar coordinates. Based on an approximate linear relation among the kernel functions for a free one-dimensional Schrödinger equation of a new variable, it takes a simple form of ordinary differential equation that relates the neighboring grid points. Numerical tests and comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed boundary treatment.
