Discrete States for Singular Potential Problems

Abstract: The solutions of the quantum mechanical wave equations for singular potentials are re-examined. It is shown that a set of orthonormal wave functions with complex energy eigenvalues (E n = W n ±iiV n ) is obtained if certain natural analyticity requirements are imposed on the form of the potentials. In general, the result is interpreted in the following way: W n is the most probable position of the energy level for various types of cutoff and T n is a measure of the probable error.

“…On the physical level of rigor, the Schrödinger equation with potential (1) was studied for a long time in connection with different physical problems, see for example [3,7] and books [10,8]. In particular, this potential enters the stationary radial Schrödinger equation Figure 1: Potential V (x) = g 1 x −1 + g 2 x −2 , with g 1 = g 2 = 1 (dashed), g 1 = −g 2 = 1 (solid) and g 1 = −g 2 = −1 (thick).…”

“…A discussion of the underlying singular periodic problem (1.5) on R, including the associated Floquet (Bloch) theory, was presented by Scarf [58]. These investigations focus on aspects of ordinary differential equations as opposed to operator theory even though Dirichlet problems associated with singular endpoints were formally discussed (in this context see also [57]). An operator theoretic approach for (1.5) and (1.6) over a finite interval bounded by singularities and a variety of associated self-adjoint boundary conditions including coupled boundary conditions leading to energy bands (Floquet-Bloch theory) in the periodic problem on R, was discussed in in [22] and [26].…”
