Finite lifetime eigenfunctions of coupled systems of harmonic oscillators

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

We find a Hermite-type basis for which the eigenvalue problem associated to the operator HA,B:=B(−∂x2)+Ax2H_{A,B}:=B(-\partial_x^2)+Ax^2 acting on L2(R;C2)L^2({\bf R};{\bf C}^2) becomes a three-terms recurrence. Here AA and BB are two constant positive definite matrices with no other restriction. Our main result provides an explicit characterization of the eigenvectors of HA,BH_{A,B} that lie in the span of the first four elements of this basis when AB≠BAAB\not= BA.
