Differential equations in the spectral parameter (original) (raw)

We determine all the potentials V(x) for the Schrόdinger equation (dl + Y(x))φ = k 2 φ such that some family of eigenfunctions φ satisfies a differential equation in the spectral parameter k of the form For each such V{x) we determine the algebra of all possible operators B and the corresponding functions Θ(x).
