Abstract: We study the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian H = -Delta + V(r) for the Coulomb plus power-law potential V(r)=-1/r+ beta sgn(q)r^q, where beta > 0, q > -2 and q
e 0. We show by envelope theory that the discrete eigenvalues E_{nell} of H may be approximated by the semiclassical expression E_{nell}(q) approx min_{r>0}{1/r^2-1/(mu r)+ sgn(q) beta(nu r)^q}. Values of mu and nu are prescribed which yield upper and lower bounds. Accurate upper bounds are also obtained by use of a trial function of the form, psi(r)= r^{ell+1}e^{-(xr)^{q}}. We give detailed results for V(r) = -1/r + beta r^q, q = 0.5, 1, 2 for n=1, ell=0,1,2, along with comparison eigenvalues found by direct numerical methods.
