Abstract

In a previous paper we have shown that Schr\"odinger equation with the non-analytic attractive exponential potential V(x)=g2exp(x)V(x)= -g^2\exp (-|x|) is exactly solvable. It has finitely many discrete eigenstates described by the Bessel function of the first kind Jν(z)J_{\nu}(z) and the eigenvalues are specified by the positive zeros of Jν(g)J_{\nu}(g) and Jν(g)J'_{\nu}(g) as a function of the order ν\nu with fixed g>0g>0. Now we show the corresponding results for the {\em confining\/} non-analytic exponential potential V(x)=g2exp(2x)V(x)= g^2\exp (2|x|). This has infinitely many discrete eigenstates described by the modified Bessel function of the second kind Kiν(z)K_{i\nu}(z). The eigenvalues are specified by the {\em pure imaginary zeros\/} of Kiν(g)K_{i\nu}(g) and Kiν(g)K'_{i\nu}(g) as a function of the order with fixed g>0g>0.
