On the misinterpretation of conditionally-solvable quantum-mechanical problems

Abstract

We apply the Frobenius (power-series) method to some simple exactlysolvable and conditionally-solvable quantum-mechanical models with supposed physical interest. We show that the supposedly exact solutions to radial eigenvalue equations derived in recent papers are not correct because they do not satisfy some well-known theorems. We also discuss the origin of the mistake by means of the approach indicated above.
