I discuss in this paper the behaviour of the solutions of the so-called q-hyperbolic potentials, i.e. P"oschl-Teller-like and conditionally solvable potentials, in terms of the path integral formalism. The differences in comparison to the…

Path integrals are a ubiquitous tool in theoretical physics. However, their use is sometimes hindered by the lack of control on various manipulations -- such as performing a change of the integration path -- one would like to carry out in…
