In this paper, we obtain the bound state energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation for the pseudo-Coulomb potential plus a new improved ring-shaped potential within the framework of cosmic string space–time using the generalized parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov method. Our results are in good agreement with other works in the cosmic string space–time and reduced to those in the Minkowski space–time when α = 1.
