%0 Journal Article %T Algebraic treatment of the confluent Natanzon potentials %A M. T. Chefrour %A L. Chetouani %A L. Guechi %J Physics %D 2002 %I arXiv %R 10.1209/epl/i2000-00362-7 %X Using the so(2,1) Lie algebra and the Baker, Campbell and Hausdorff formulas, the Green's function for the class of the confluent Natanzon potentials is constructed straightforwardly. The bound-state energy spectrum is then determined. Eventually, the three-dimensional harmonic potential, the three-dimensional Coulomb potential and the Morse potential may all be considered as particular cases. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0201016v1
