Confluent Chains of DBT: Enlarged Shape Invariance and New Orthogonal Polynomials

Yves Grandati ; Christiane Quesne

Symmetry, integrability and geometry: methods and applications, Tome 11 (2015)

Résumé

We construct rational extensions of the Darboux–Pöschl–Teller and isotonic potentials via two-step confluent Darboux transformations. The former are strictly isospectral to the initial potential, whereas the latter are only quasi-isospectral. Both are associated to new families of orthogonal polynomials, which, in the first case, depend on a continuous parameter. We also prove that these extended potentials possess an enlarged shape invariance property.

Détail

Keywords: quantum mechanics; supersymmetry; orthogonal polynomials.
