Bender–Dunne Orthogonal Polynomials And Quasi-Exact Solvability

چکیده
The paper is devoted to the further study of the remarkable classes of orthogonal polynomials recently discovered by Bender and Dunne. We show that these polynomials can be generated by solutions of arbitrary quasi exactly solvable problems of quantum mechanichs both one-dimensional and multi-dimensional. A general and model-independent method for building and studying Bender-Dunne polynomials is proposed. The method enables one to compute the weight functions for the polynomials and shows that they are the orthogonal polynomials in a discrete variable Ek which takes its values in the set of exactly computable energy levels of the corresponding quasi-exactly solvable model. It is also demonstrated that in an important particular case, the Bender-Dunne polynomials exactly coincide with orthogonal polynomials appearing in Lanczos tridiagonalization procedure.

Sextic anharmonic oscillators and orthogonal polynomials
Under certain constraints on the parameters a, b and c, it is known that Schrödinger’s equation −d2ψ/dx2 + (ax + bx + cx)ψ = Eψ, a > 0 with the sextic anharmonic oscillator potential is exactly solvable. In this article we show that the exact wave function ψ is the generating function for a set of orthogonal polynomials {P (t) n (x)} in the energy variable E. Some of the properties of these pol...
متن کاملQuasi-Exactly Solvable Systems and Orthogonal Polynomials
This paper shows that there is a correspondence between quasi-exactly solvable models in quantum mechanics and sets of orthogonal polynomials {Pn}. The quantum-mechanical wave function is the generating function for the Pn(E), which are polynomials in the energy E. The condition of quasi-exact solvability is reflected in the vanishing of the norm of all polynomials whose index n exceeds a criti...
متن کاملA Characterization of Positive Quadrature Formulae
A positive quadrature formula with n nodes which is exact for polynomials of degree In — r — 1, 0 < r < « , is based on the zeros of certain quasi-orthogonal polynomials of degree n . We show that the quasi-orthogonal polynomials that lead to the positive quadrature formulae can all be expressed as characteristic polynomials of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix with positive subdiagonal entries. A...

متن کاملSpherically symmetric random walks. I. Representation in terms of orthogonal polynomials.
Spherically symmetric random walks in arbitrary dimension D can be described in terms of Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials. For example, Legendre polynomials can be used to represent the special case of two-dimensional spherically symmetric random walks. In general, there is a connection between orthogonal polynomials and semibounded one-dimensional random walks; such a random walk can be...
