Abstract
We propose an iterative nonlinear solution to the general potential scattering porblem in quantum mechanics. It is illustrated by the case of localized scatterers of arbitrary strengths located at arbitrary points in an infinite lattice, for which we obtain the complete set of bound and scattering states. The numberical evaluation is estimated to take steps as opposed to steps by conventional matrix inversion.
