Abstract

A simple approach to the formation of a Hamiltonian matrix for some Schrodinger equations describing the molecules with large amplitude motions has been proposed. The algorithm involving one or several variables has been concretely defined for the basis functions represented by Fourier series and orthogonal polynomials, taking Hermitian polynomials as an example.
