In this work are considered two quantum-mechanical approaches to treat
a single-coordinate (Eckart-type) potential scattering process. The o
ne approach is based on the application of Toeplitz matrices and the o
ther on the application of negative imaginary (absorbing) potentials.
It was found that for this type of ''reactive'' process, the method ba
sed on the Toeplitz matrices performed better.
