As explicit symbolic solutions ofthe operator eigenvalue problem are only attainable in very rare cases, one mostly hasto resort to numerical techniques, especially to methods for giant Hermitian eigenvalueproblems. In this thesis we are concerned with the speci c case of triatomic moleculesthat exhibit the so called Double-Renner e ect. To begin with, we explain the originand the theoretical background of the abstract Schr odinger problem and we discuss vi-able techniques for the transition to suitable nite dimensional Hermitian matrices thatapproximate the original Hamiltonian in a reasonable fashion, and thus, make it acces-sible for a numerical treatment.
