Method of continued fractions for complex potentials

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
We show how a method of continued fractions of Horacek and Sasakawa for solving the Lippman-Schwinger equation for a local or nonlocal potential (Phys. Rev. A 30, 2274 (1984)) should be modified for the case of complex potentials. A nonlocal complex potential for the scattering of electrons from the helium atom is used as a numerical example.
