The method of potential segmentation previously developed for scattering situations, is extended to the computation of one‐dimensional bound states. The energy eigenvalues are determined by the zeros of a specific transcendental function while the corresponding eigenfunctions are supplied with the aid of a series of 2×2 matrix equations.
