Supersymmetric generalized power functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Complex-valued functions defined on a finite interval [a,b] generalizing power functions of the type (x−x0)n for ngeq0 are studied. These functions called Phi-generalized powers, Phi being a given nonzero complex-valued function on the interval, were considered to contruct a general solution representation of the Sturm-Liouville equation in terms of the spectral parameter cite{kravchenko2008, kravporter2010}. The Phi-generalized powers can be considered as a natural basis functions for the one-dimensional supersymmetric quantum mechanics systems taking Phi=psi02, where the function psi0(x) is the ground state wave function of one of the supersymmetric scalar Hamiltonians. Several properties are obtained such as Phi-symmetric conjugate and antisymmetry of the Phi-generalized powers, a supersymmetric binomial identity for these functions, a supersymmetric Pythagorean elliptic (hyperbolic) identity involving four Phi-trigonometric (Phi-hyperbolic) functions as well as a supersymmetric Taylor series expressed in terms of the Phi-derivatives. We show that the first n Phi-generalized powers are a fundamental set of solutions associated with a nonconstant coefficients homogeneous linear ordinary differential equations of order n+1. Finally, we present a general solution representation of the stationary Schr"odinger equation in terms of geometric series where the Volterra compositions of the first type is considered.
