Abstract

We show in a rigorous way that Crum's result on equal eigenvalue spectrum of Sturm-Liouville problems can be obtained iteratively by successive Darboux transformations. It can be shown that all neighbouring Darboux-transformed potentials of higher order, uk and uk+1, satisfy the condition of shape invariance provided the original potential u does. We use this result to proof that under the condition of shape invariance the n-th iteration of the original Sturm-Liouville problem defined through shape invariance is equal to the n-th Crum transformation
