Abstract
The non-relativistic static and dynamic dipole polarizabilities of a hydrogen atom experiencing a cylindrical confinement are investigated. Two methods based on B-splines are used for computations of energies and wavefunctions. The first method is a variational-based method while the second one proceeds by a fit of the non-separable Coulomb potential in the product form. The computed energies compare very well with previous computations. They converge, as well as the dipole polarizability, to the exact unconfined free atom values with increasing basis size. The fit approach is found to be advantageous, as it helps to reduce the computational time without loss of accuracy.
