Spectral Method for Solving the Nonlinear Thomas-Fermi Equation Based on Exponential Functions
We present an efficient spectral methods solver for the Thomas-Fermi equation for neutral atoms in a semi-infinite domain. The ordinary differential equation has been solved by applying a spectral method using an exponential basis set. One of the main advantages of this approach, when compared to ot...
