Notes:
A numerical method for solving the Schrödinger equation for a potential expressed as a polynomial is proposed. The basic assumption relies on the asymptotic properties of the solution of this equation. It is possible to obtain the energies and the stationary state functions simultaneously. We analyze, in particular, the cases of the quartic anharmonic oscillator and a hydrogen atom perturbed by a quadratic term, obtaining its energy eigenvalues for some values of the perturbation parameter. Together with the Hellmann-Feynman therorem, we use our algorithm to calculate expectation values of xn for arbitrary positive values of n.
