Expectation Values $<r^p>$ for Harmonic Oscillator in $R^n$

Mathematical Physics 2009-08-06 v3 math.MP Quantum Physics

Abstract

We evaluate the matrix elements <rp><r^{p}> for the nn -dimensional harmonic oscillator in terms of the dual Hahn polynomials and derive a corresponding three-term recurrence relation and a Pasternack-type reflection relation. A short review of similar results for nonrelativistic hydrogen atom is also given.
