AN ALTERNATIVE SIMPLE SOLUTION OF THE SEXTIC ANHARMONIC OSCILLATOR AND PERTURBED COULOMB PROBLEMS

Abstract

Utilizing an appropriate ansatz to the wave function, we reproduce the exact bound-state solutions of the radial Schrödinger equation to various exactly solvable sextic anharmonic oscillator and confining perturbed Coulomb models in D-dimensions. We show that the perturbed Coulomb problem with eigenvalue E can be transformed to a sextic anharmonic oscillator problem with eigenvalue [Formula: see text]. We also check the explicit relevance of these two related problems in higher-space dimensions. It is shown that exact solutions of these potentials exist when their coupling parameters with k = D +2ℓ appearing in the wave equation satisfy certain constraints.
