Complete Set of Inner Products for a Discrete PT-symmetric Square-well Hamiltonian

Abstract

A discrete N-point Runge-Kutta version H(N)(λ) of one of the simplest non-Hermitian square-well Hamiltonians with real spectrum is studied. A complete set of its possible hermitizations (i.e., of the eligible metrics (N)(λ) defining its non-equivalent physical Hilbert spaces of states) is constructed, in closed form, for any coupling λ∈ (-1,1) and any matrix dimension N.
