| * In the code {{:coulomboscrelme.f90.zip|}}, you will find a subroutine (laguerre_general) that calculates the generalized Laguerre polynomials that appear in the definition of the HO wf's, see {{:ho_spherical.pdf| here}}. Use this subroutine to create a function or subroutine that calculates the HO wf's $R_{nl}(r)$. Note that for large $n,l$ values, the factorial and double factorial functions that appear in $R_{nl}$ lead to overflow if you code them according to their naive expressions. How might you avoid this problem? [Hint: Recall that $Log{(AB\cdots)}=Log{A} + Log{B} + \cdots$]. | * In the code {{:coulomboscrelme.f90.zip|}}, you will find a subroutine (laguerre_general) that calculates the generalized Laguerre polynomials that appear in the definition of the HO wf's, see {{:ho_spherical.pdf| here}}.

| - | * Check numerically that the constructed HO wf's are orthonormal. I.e., evaluate $\int r^2dr R_{nl}(r)R_{n'l'}(r)$. To do this, you will want to use Gaussian quadrature to discretize the integrals. Gaussian quadrature is discussed a bit in {{:ho_spherical.pdf| }}. (Gauss-Laguerre quadrature is ideal for this problem, but plain old Gauss-Legendre quadrature, which is widely available in canned routines you can easily find via Google, is sufficient.) | + | * Check numerically that the constructed HO wf's are orthonormal.
