### SYMPLECTIC INTEGRATORS FOR THE MULTICHANNEL SCHRODINGER-EQUATION

Abstract:

The multichannel radial Schrödinger equation that arises in time-independent inelastic scattering theory and certain bound state problems has a classical Hamiltonian structure in which the radial coordinate plays the role of time. One consequence of this Hamiltonian structure is that the Schrödinger equation has symplectic symmetries, which lead in the context of inelastic scattering to the unitarity and symmetry of the S matrix. Another consequence is that so-called symplectic integrators ca...
