Approximate analytic solution of the Logunov–Tavkhelidze equation for a one-dimensional oscillator potential in the relativistic configuration representation
Abstract:
We construct approximate analytic solutions of the Logunov–Tavkhelidze equation in the case of a potential that, in the one-dimensional relativistic configuration representation, has the form analogous to the potential of the nonrelativistic harmonic oscillator in the coordinate representation. The wave functions are obtained in both the momentum and relativistic configuration representations. The approximate values of the energy of the relativistic harmonic oscillator are the roots of transcendental equations. The wave functions in the relativistic configuration representation have additional zeros in comparison with the wave functions of the corresponding states of the nonrelativistic harmonic oscillator in the coordinate representation.
