A superintegrable discrete harmonic oscillator based on bivariate Charlier polynomials

Mathematical Physics 2015-12-11 v2 math.MP

Abstract

A simple discrete model of the two dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator is presented. It is superintegrable with su(2) as its symmetry algebra. It is constructed with the help of the algebraic properties of the bivariate Charlier polyno-mials. This adds to the other discrete superintegrable models of the oscillator based on Krawtchouk and Meixner orthogonal polynomials in several variables.
