Schrödinger equation for two quasi-exactly solvable potentials

Abstract

We apply solutions of Heun's general equation to the stationary Schrödinger equation with two quasi-exactly solvable elliptic potentials which depend on a real parameter $\ell$. We get finite-series solutions from power series expansions for Heun's equation if $\ell$ is an integer, except if $\ell =-1,-2,-3,-4$. If $\ell \ne -5/2$ is half an odd integer, we obtain finite series in terms of hypergeometric functions. The quasi-exact solvability is expressed by the finite series solutions. However, for any value of $\ell$, we find infinite-series eigenfunctions which are convergent and bounded for all values of the independent variable.
