Abstract: Starting with an orthogonal polynomial sequence ${p_n(s)}_{n=0}^{i}nfty$ that has a discrete spectrum, we design an energy spectrum formula, $E_k=f(s_k)$, where $|s_k$ is the finite or infinite discrete spectrum of the polynomial. Using a recent approach for doing quantum mechanics based, not on potential functions but, on orthogonal energy polynomials, we give a local numerical realization of the potential function associated with the chosen energy spectrum. In this work, we select the three-parameter continuous dual Hahn polynomial as an example. Exact analytic expressions are given for the corresponding bound states energy spectrum, scattering states phase shift, and wavefunctions. However, the potential function is obtained only numerically for a given set of physical parameters.
