// <h1>Miscellaneous Example 14 - Hydrogen Atom Using Infinite Elements With Imaginary Frequency</h1>
// \author Hubert Weissmann
// \date 2017
//
// This example uses second order infinite elements to solve the Schroedinger equation to obtain
// the wave function of the Hydrogen atom.
// To speed up the calculation, the SlepcSolver is configured to use the shift-and-invert-transform for solving
// the resulting generalised eigensystem.
//
// The result is printed in exodus-format and along the x-axis in a free format.
