Exact solutions of Dirac and Schrodinger equations for a large class of power-law potentials at zero energy

We obtain exact solutions of Dirac equation at zero kinetic energy for radial power-law relativistic potentials. It turns out that these are the relativistic extension of a subclass of exact solutions of Schrodinger equation with two-term power-law potentials at zero energy. The latter is solved by point canonical transformation of the exactly solvable problem of the three dimensional oscillator. The wavefunction solutions are written in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions and almost always square integrable. For most cases these solutions support bound states at zero energy. Some exceptional unbounded states are normalizable for non-zero angular momentum. Using a generalized definition, degeneracy of the nonrelativistic states is demonstrated and the associated degenerate observable is defined.

J-matrix method of scattering in any L2 basis

The restriction imposed on the J-matrix method of using specific L2 bases is lifted without compromising any of the advantages that it offers. This opens the door to a wider range of application of the method to physical problems beyond the restrictive SO(2,1) dynamical symmetry. The numerical scheme developed to achieve this objective projects the J-matrix formalism in terms of the eigenvalues of a finite Hamiltonian matrix and its submatrices in any convenient L2 basis. Numerical stability and convergence of the original analytic J-matrix method is still maintained in the proposed scheme, which can be applied to multi-channel nonrelativistic as well as relativistic scattering problems.
