Spectral characteristics for a spherically confined -1/r + br^2 potential
We consider the analytical properties of the eigenspectrum generated by a
class of central potentials given by V(r) = -a/r + br^2, b>0. In particular,
scaling, monotonicity, and energy bounds are discussed. The potential is
considered both in all space, and under the condition of spherical confinement
inside an impenetrable spherical boundary of radius R. With the aid of the
asymptotic iteration method, several exact analytic results are obtained which
exhibit the parametric dependence of energy on a, b, and R, under certain
constraints. More general spectral characteristics are identified by use of a
combination of analytical properties and accurate numerical calculations of the
energies, obtained by both the generalized pseudo-spectral method, and the
asymptotic iteration method. The experimental significance of the results for
both the free and confined potential V(r) cases are discussed.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figure
Application of the Asymptotic Iteration Method to a Perturbed Coulomb Model
We show that the asymptotic iteration method converges and yields accurate
energies for a perturbed Coulomb model. We also discuss alternative
perturbation approaches to that model.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, 1 tabl
Solvable Systems of Linear Differential Equations
The asymptotic iteration method (AIM) is an iterative technique used to find
exact and approximate solutions to second-order linear differential equations.
In this work, we employed AIM to solve systems of two first-order linear
differential equations. The termination criteria of AIM will be re-examined and
the whole theory is re-worked in order to fit this new application. As a result
of our investigation, an interesting connection between the solution of linear
systems and the solution of Riccati equations is established. Further, new
classes of exactly solvable systems of linear differential equations with
variable coefficients are obtained. The method discussed allow to construct
many solvable classes through a simple procedure.Comment: 13 page
Conversion efficiency and luminosity for gamma-proton colliders based on the LHC-CLIC or LHC-ILC QCD Explorer scheme
Gamma-proton collisions allow unprecedented investigations of the low x and
high regions in quantum chromodynamics. In this paper, we investigate
the luminosity for "ILC"LHC ( TeV) and
"CLIC"LHC ( TeV) based colliders. Also
we determine the laser properties required for high conversion efficiency.Comment: 16, 6 figure
Criterion for polynomial solutions to a class of linear differential equation of second order
We consider the differential equations y''=\lambda_0(x)y'+s_0(x)y, where
\lambda_0(x), s_0(x) are C^{\infty}-functions. We prove (i) if the differential
equation, has a polynomial solution of degree n >0, then \delta_n=\lambda_n
s_{n-1}-\lambda_{n-1}s_n=0, where \lambda_{n}=
\lambda_{n-1}^\prime+s_{n-1}+\lambda_0\lambda_{n-1}\hbox{and}\quad
s_{n}=s_{n-1}^\prime+s_0\lambda_{k-1},\quad n=1,2,.... Conversely (ii) if
\lambda_n\lambda_{n-1}\ne 0 and \delta_n=0, then the differential equation has
a polynomial solution of degree at most n. We show that the classical
differential equations of Laguerre, Hermite, Legendre, Jacobi, Chebyshev (first
and second kind), Gegenbauer, and the Hypergeometric type, etc, obey this
criterion. Further, we find the polynomial solutions for the generalized
Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre and Chebyshev differential equations.Comment: 12 page
Arbitrary l-state solutions of the rotating Morse potential by the asymptotic iteration method
For non-zero values, we present an analytical solution of the radial
Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the rotating Morse potential using the Pekeris
approximation within the framework of the Asymptotic Iteration Method. The
bound state energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions are obtained
for a number of diatomic molecules and the results are compared with the
findings of the super-symmetry, the hypervirial perturbation, the
Nikiforov-Uvarov, the variational, the shifted 1/N and the modified shifted 1/N
expansion methods.Comment: 15 pages with 1 eps figure. accepted for publication in Journal of

Solutions for certain classes of Riccati differential equation
We derive some analytic closed-form solutions for a class of Riccati equation
y'(x)-\lambda_0(x)y(x)\pm y^2(x)=\pm s_0(x), where \lambda_0(x), s_0(x) are
C^{\infty}-functions. We show that if \delta_n=\lambda_n
s_{n-1}-\lambda_{n-1}s_n=0, where \lambda_{n}=
\lambda_{n-1}^\prime+s_{n-1}+\lambda_0\lambda_{n-1} and
s_{n}=s_{n-1}^\prime+s_0\lambda_{k-1}, n=1,2,..., then The Riccati equation has
a solution given by y(x)=\mp s_{n-1}(x)/\lambda_{n-1}(x). Extension to the
generalized Riccati equation y'(x)+P(x)y(x)+Q(x)y^2(x)=R(x) is also
investigated.Comment: 10 page
Physical applications of second-order linear differential equations that admit polynomial solutions
Conditions are given for the second-order linear differential equation P3 y"
+ P2 y'- P1 y = 0 to have polynomial solutions, where Pn is a polynomial of
degree n. Several application of these results to Schroedinger's equation are
discussed. Conditions under which the confluent, biconfluent, and the general
Heun equation yield polynomial solutions are explicitly given. Some new classes
of exactly solvable differential equation are also discussed. The results of
this work are expressed in such way as to allow direct use, without preliminary
analysis.Comment: 13 pages, no figure

generality, other states and molecules could be treated in a similar way
