Abstract
In this paper, using the Exact Quantization Rule, we present approximate analytical solutions of the radial Schrödinger equation with non-zero l values for the Hulthén potential in the frame of an approximation to the centrifugal potential for any l states. The energy levels of all bound states can be easily calculated from the Exact Quantization Rule. Specifically, the normalized analytical wave functions are also obtained. Some energy eigenvalues are numerically calculated and compared with those obtained by other methods such as asymptotic iteration, supersymmetry, numerical integration methods, and the schroedinger Mathematica package.
