Results, Conclusions

• Reflection coefficients of Bose-Einstein condensates from four potentials are obtained. In some cases the exact analytical solutions are obtained.

• For the higher order resonances the onlinear shift of the resonance potential depth is determined within a modified Rayleigh-Schrödinger theory.

• Resonance position shift is approximately equidistant in the case of R-M potential and constant for the rectangular barrier.
