The phase shift is determined after calculation of the wave function by taking into account its asymptotic behavior and applying the iteration schemes of a continuous analog of Newton’s method (CANM). The inverse problem for an equation with a potential depending on the parameters is reduced to minimization problem with respect to the parameters for the functional that describes the sum of squares of deviations of the specified values of phase shifts from the corresponding calculated values. Basic features of the computational schemes are demonstrated by solution of the problem with Morse’s potential which admits analytical solution and also by solving the problem with Woods–Saxon’s potential.Schr¨odinger equationscattering problemnon-linear boundary value problemiterations of CANMpotentialsparametersinverse problemfunctionalminimizationуравнение Шрёдингеразадача рассеяниянелинейная граничная задачаитерации НАМНпотенциалыпараметрыобратная задачафункционалминимизация
