FGH, a code for the calculation of Coulomb radial wave functions from series expansions. (English)
[J] Comput. Phys. Commun. 146, No.2, 250-253 (2002). ISSN 0010-4655

Summary: The code FGH is an up-dated version of a code COULFG [see the author, ibid. 25, 87 (1982)], used for the calculation of the Coulomb functions $f$ and $g$, analytic in the energy, for attractive potentials. The new code works for attractive and repulsive potentials and also gives the functions $h$ which have simple asymptotic forms. There is an option to use either the variables $(\varepsilon,r)$ customary in atomic physics, or (for positive energies) $(\eta,\rho)$ customary in nuclear physics. When $(\eta,\rho)$ are used, the code also gives the functions $F_\ell(\eta,\rho)$ and $G_\ell(\eta,\rho)$. \par Use of series solutions can lead to loss of accuracy due to cancellation effects. FGH provides an indication of the number of significant figures lost due to cancellations.
