Abstract: With an improved Numerov algorithm, continuum state wave functions and its normalization are investigated. Cowan' s normalization is discussed and a more precise and effective calculation is offered. We calculate the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn(TRK) sum of several hydrogen atomic states (l=0~3). The least-squared method is used to generate infinite asymptotical forms of TRK. The residues are approximately calculated with an integral processing.

Key words: continuum state, normalization, TRK sum rules, integral processing
