    The Numerov-Cooley algorithm is applied to solve the Schrödinger equation for multiminima potentials that, however, do not cause any stability problems. By means of the Richardson extrapolation formula an additional accuracy of the energy eigenvalues is obtained. The eigenfunctions corresponding to 1-dimensional potentials are used as basis functions for a perturbed 2-dimensional multiminima potential. Several numerical examples are presented, e.g. 2-dimensional case with 63-minima potential. FORTRAN 77 is used, some calculations being performed by means of REDUCE language.
