We study the spectrum in such a PT-symmetric square well of a diameter L where the "strength of the non-Hermiticity" is controlled by the two parameters, viz., by an imaginary coupling ig and by the distance d of its onset from the origin.…

For complex PT-symmetric scattering potentials (CPTSSPs) $V(x)= V_1 f_{even}(x) + iV_2 f_{odd}(x), f_{even}(\pm \infty) = 0 = f_{odd}(\pm \infty), V_1,V_2 \in \Re $, we show that complex $k$-poles of transmission amplitude $t(k)$ or zeros…

The $\cal PT$-symmetric complexified Scarf II potential $V(x)= - V_1 \sech^{2}x + {\rm i} V_2 \sech x \tanh x$, $V_1>0$ , $V_{2}\neq 0$ is revisited to study the interplay among its coupling parameters. The existence of an isolated real and…

So far, the well known two branches of real discrete spectrum of complex PT-symmetric Scarf II potential are kept isolated. Here, we suggest that these two need to be brought together as doublets: $E^n_{\pm}(\lambda)$ with $n=0,1,2...$.…

We show that the complex $\cal PT$-symmetric periodic potential $V(x) = - ({\rm i} \xi \sin 2x + N)^2$, where $\xi$ is real and $N$ is a positive integer, is quasi-exactly solvable. For odd values of $N \ge 3$, it may lead to exceptional…
