Divergence-free WKB method
Abstract
A new semiclassical approach to linear (L) and nonlinear (NL) one-dimensional Schrödinger equation (SE) is presented. Unlike the usual WKB solution, our solution does not diverge at the classical turning point. For LSE, our zeroth-order solution, when expanded in powers of , agrees with the usual WKB solution. For NLSE, our zeroth-order solution includes quantum corrections to the Thomas-Fermi solution, thereby giving a smoothly decaying wave function into the forbidden region.
