Parity inversion property of the double ring-shaped oscillator in cylindrical coordinates
Using the functional analysis method, we present the exact solutions of the double ring-shaped oscillator (DRSO) potential with certain parity in the cylindrical coordinates. Such a quantum system is separated to two differential equations, i.e. a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator plus an inverse square term and a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator plus an inverse square term. The key point is how to find the adapted symmetrical solutions of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator plus an inverse square term at the singular point [Formula: see text]. The obtained results are compared with those in the spherical coordinates. We also explore intimate connections [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by substituting [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].
