Abstract
Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations (BdGEs) for collective excitations from a trapped Bose–Einstein condensate described by a spatially smooth ground-state wavefunction can be treated analytically. A new class of closed solutions for the BdGEs is obtained for the one-dimensional (1D) and 3D spherically harmonic traps. The solutions of zero-energy mode of the BdGEs are also provided. The eigenfunctions of the excitations consist of zero-energy mode, zero-quantum-number mode and entire excitation modes when the approximate ground state is a background Bose gas sea.
