Herein, we present analytical solutions for the electronic energy eigenvalues of the hydrogen molecular ion H + 2 , namely the one-electron two-fixed-center problem. These are given for the homonuclear case for the countable infinity of discrete states when the magnetic quantum number m is zero i.e. for 2 Σ + states. In this case, these solutions are the roots of a set of two coupled three-term recurrence relations. The eigensolutions are obtained from an application of experimental mathematics using Computer Algebra as its principal tool and are vindicated by numerical and algebraic demonstrations. Finally, the mathematical nature of the eigenenergies is identified.
Herein, we present a sequel to earlier work on a generalization of the Lambert W function. In particular, we examine series expansions of the generalized version providing computational means for evaluating this function in various regimes and further confirming the notion that this generalization is a natural extension of the standard Lambert W function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
