Abstract: Exact solutions, in terms of special functions, of all wave equations $\mathrm{\%}{u}_{xx}-u_{tt}=V(x)u(t,x)$, characterised by eight inequivalent time independent potentials and by variable separation, have been found. The real valueness of the solutions from computer algebra programs is not always manifest and in this work we provide ready to use solutions. We discussed especially the potential $cos{h}^{-2}x(m_1+m_{2}sinhx)$. Such potential approximates the Schwarzschild black hole potential for even parity.

Review text

The authors present solutions to the wave equation \(u_{xx}(x,t) -u_{tt}(x,t)=V(x) u(x,t)\), for several special potential functions \(V(x)\). All solutions are based on a separation ansatz. For finding these solutions and determining some of their properties the authors have used the \textit{odesolve} function of MAPLE 7. One of the potentials chosen approximates the Zerilli potential which has relevance for the quasi-normal modes of a Schwarzschild black hole.
