Green's operator for Hamiltonians with Coulomb plus polynomial potentials

The Hamiltonian of a Coulomb plus polynomial potential on the Coulomb-Sturmian basis has an infinite symmetric band-matrix structure. A band matrix can always be considered as a block-tridiagonal matrix. So, the corresponding Green's operator can be given as a matrix-valued continued fraction. As examples, we calculate the Green's operator for the Coulomb plus linear and quadratic potential problems and determine the energy levels.

On the Coulomb-Sturmian matrix elements of the Coulomb Green's operator

The two-body Coulomb Hamiltonian, when calculated in Coulomb-Sturmian basis, has an infinite symmetric tridiagonal form, also known as Jacobi matrix form. This Jacobi matrix structure involves a continued fraction representation for the inverse of the Green's matrix. The continued fraction can be transformed to a ratio of two $_{2}F_{1}$ hypergeometric functions. From this result we find an exact analytic formula for the matrix elements of the Green's operator of the Coulomb Hamiltonian.
