Haydock’s recursive solution of self-adjoint problems. Discrete spectrum
Haydock’s recursive solution is shown to underline a number of different concepts such as (i) quasi-exactly solvable models, (ii) exactly solvable models, (iii) three-term recurrence solutions based on Schweber’s quantization criterion in Hilbert spaces of entire analytic functions, and (iv) a discrete quantum mechanics of Odake and Sasaki. A recurrent theme of Haydock’s recursive solution is that the spectral properties of any self-adjoint problem can be mapped onto a corresponding sequence of polynomials (p{sub n}(E)) in energy variable E. The polynomials (p{sub n}(E)) are orthonormal with respect to the density of states n{sub 0}(E) and energy eigenstate |E〉 is the generating function of (p{sub n}(E)). The generality of Haydock’s recursive solution enables one to see the different concepts from a unified perspective and mutually benefiting from each other. Some results obtained within the particular framework of any of (i) to (iv) may have much broader significance.
