Matrix Elements
Consider, a matrix element of the potential,
Vq,q'   q V(x)  q'
Conceptual ly, this matrix element may be evaluated
if we know the matrix representa tion of the position
operator. Then,
V  V (x)
as long as the basis set is complete. This remains quite useful
even for finite basis sets and suggests that an excellent
approximat ion to the matrix is obtained,
Vq,q'   Tq,i V(x i ) Tq' ,i
i
where T is the transform ation from the original
representa tion to one which diagonaliz es x. Note, that
this looks like a quadrature formula.

 Define a new set of " coordinate " functions,

and
u i x u j  x i i, j
 Consider t he matrix element
Fi, j  u i F(x) u j
In general this will not be equal to
Fi, j  F(x i )  i, j
unless the basis/or quadrature is complete.
(Think power series expansion and matrix mutiply)
In the DVR, its is ASSUMED that this is true.
In practice it appears to be an excellent approximat ion.

Diagonalize Hamiltonian in Krylov basis
•Few recursions needed for short time- Typically 10 to 20 via
adaptive time stepping
•Unconditionally stable
• Major step - matrix vector multiply, a few scalar products
and diagonalization of tri-diagonal matrix
