We obtain the spectrum of bound states for a modified P\"oschl-Teller and square potential wells in the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. For a fixed norm of bound states, the spectrum for both potentials turns out to consist of a finite…
It is well-known that a delta potential well in 1D has only one bound state but that in 3D it supports an {\it infinite} number of bound states with {\it infinite} binding energy for the lowest level. We show how this also holds for the…
Recently, a class of PT-invariant quantum mechanical models described by the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian $H=p^2+x^2(ix)^\epsilon$ was studied. It was found that the energy levels for this theory are real for all $\epsilon\geq0$. Here, the…
