✦ Synopsis

In the framework of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in 3 dimensions, we propose a new way of calculating the energies of the 1l-states from the properties of the 1s-state. The method is based on the generalized Bertlmann Martin inequalities, corrected to obtain approximative relationships relating the moments of the ground state density to the (E 1l &E 1s ) energy differences for a large class of potentials. Three specific examples are studied: Hulthe n, Po schl Teller and the square well. The results clearly establish the advantages and the limitations of the method. It is most efficient for confining potentials. We also discuss two other inequalities. The first one concerns the kinetic energy of the 1s-state, and the second one arises from the monopole transition sum rule.

This paper is concerned with a new conservative finite difference method for solving the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (GNLS) equation iu t + u xx + f (|u| 2 )u = 0. The numerical scheme is constructed through the semidiscretization and an application of the quartic spline approximation. Central

Recently an interesting new class of PDE integrators, multisymplectic schemes, has been introduced for solving systems possessing a certain multisymplectic structure. Some of the characteristic features of the method are its local nature (independent of boundary conditions) and an equal treatment of
