Abstract
It is shown that the piecewise perturbation methods provide a powerful numerical tool for solving the complex eigenvalue problem of the Schr odinger equation in a complex optical potential. One of them, the CPM( 2), is compared with the existing NAG subroutines and found substantia lly faster. We also present appropriate methods to compute the solutio n in the vicinity of the origin and in the asymptotic region.
