Nystrom plus correction method for solving bound-state equations in momentum space.

A method is presented for solving the momentum-space Schrödinger equation with a linear potential. The Lande-subtracted momentum-space integral equation can be transformed into a matrix equation by the Nystrom method. The method produces only approximate eigenvalues in the cases of singular potentials such as the linear potential. The eigenvalues generated by the Nystrom method can be improved by calculating the numerical errors and adding the appropriate corrections. The end results are more accurate eigenvalues than those generated by the basis function method. The method is also shown to work for a relativistic equation such as the Thompson equation.
