New rational extensions of solvable potentials with finite bound state spectrum

Abstract

Using the disconjugacy properties of the Schr\"odinger equation, it is possible to develop a new type of generalized SUSY QM partnership which allows to generate new solvable rational extensions for translationally shape invariant potentials having a finite bound state spectrum. For this we prolong the dispersion relation relating the energy to the quantum number out of the physical domain until a disconjugacy sector. The prolonged excited states Riccati-Schr\"odinger (RS) functions are used to build Darboux-B\"acklund transforms which give regular isospectral extensions of the initial potential. We give the spectra of these extensions in terms of new orthogonal polynomials and study their shape invariance properties.
