Notes:
Two new numerical methods for solving the Schrödinger equation for an N-well periodic potential are presented. One is a diagonalization method based on Floquet-Bloch formalism, and the other is a renormalized Numerov-Cooley method with periodic boundary conditions. The numerical superiority of these methods over the standard diagonalization technique is demonstrated. The methods are illustrated by applications to internal rotation.
