Comment on "Fun and frustration with quarkonium in a 1+1 dimension," by R. S. Bhalerao and B. Ram [Am. J. Phys. 69 (7), 817-818 (2001)]

Abstract

The Dirac equation in a 1+1 dimension with the Lorentz scalar potential g|x| is approached. It is claimed that the eigenfunctions are proportional to the parabolic cylinder functions instead Hermite polynomials. Numerical evaluation of the quantization condition does not result in frustration.
