The confluent second-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics, with factorization energies ǫ 1 , ǫ 2 tending to a single ǫ-value, is studied. We show that the Wronskian formula remains valid if generalized eigenfunctions are taken as seed solutions. The confluent algorithm is used to generate SUSY partners of the Coulomb potential.
The hyperconfluent third-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics, in which all the factorization energies tend to a common value, is analyzed. It will be shown that the final potential as well can be achieved by applying consecutively a confluent second-order and a first-order SUSY transformations, both with the same factorization energy. The technique will be applied to the free particle and the Coulomb potential.
Shallow one-dimensional double well potentials appear in atomic and molecular physics and other fields. Unlike the "deep" wells of macroscopic quantum coherent systems, shallow double wells need not present low-lying two-level systems. We argue that this feature, the absence of a lowlying two-level system in certain shallow double wells, may allow the finding of new test grounds for quantum mechanics in mesoscopic systems. We illustrate the above ideas with a family of shallow double wells obtained from Bargman potentials through the Darboux-Bäcklund transform.
An analytical approximation of a pendulum trajectory is developed for large initial angles. Instead of using a perturbation method, a succession of just two polynomials is used in order to get simple integrals. By obtaining the approximated period, the result is compared with the Kidd–Frogg and Hite formulas for the period which are very close to the exact solution for the considered angle.
In this work we study different analytical solutions which can be obtained from a new Abel equation of first kind, under the transformation 2076 E. Salinas-Hernández et al. y = u(x)z(x) + v(x), changing the variable to z(x), where the coefficients of this equation allow the construction of a system of auxiliary equation with φ 1 (x), φ 2 (x) and φ 3 (x) as free functions to the system. From the form of the system, different cases are obtained, whose details are described in this work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
