Exactly solvable rationally-extended radial oscillator potentials, whose wave functions can be expressed in terms of Laguerre-type exceptional orthogonal polynomials, are constructed in the framework of kth-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics, with special emphasis on k = 2. It is shown that for μ = 1, 2, and 3, there exist exactly μ distinct potentials of μth type and associated families of exceptional orthogonal polynomials, where μ denotes the degree of the polynomial gμ arising in the denominator of the potentials.

A previous study of exactly solvable rationally-extended radial oscillator potentials and corresponding Laguerre exceptional orthogonal polynomials carried out in second-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics is extended to kth-order one. The polynomial appearing in the potential denominator and its degree are determined. The first-order differential relations allowing one to obtain the associated exceptional orthogonal polynomials from those arising in a (k-1)th-order analysis are established. Some nontrivial identities connecting products of Laguerre polynomials are derived from shape invariance.

A brief introduction to discrete quantum mechanics is given together with the main results on various exactly solvable systems. Namely, the intertwining relations, shape invariance, Heisenberg operator solutions, annihilation/creation operators and dynamical symmetry algebras, including the q -oscillator algebra and the Askey–Wilson algebra. A simple recipe to construct exactly and quasi-exactly solvable (QES) Hamiltonians in one-dimensional ‘discrete’ quantum mechanics is presented. It reproduces all the known Hamiltonians whose eigenfunctions consist of the Askey scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials of a continuous or a discrete variable. Several new exactly and QES Hamiltonians are constructed. The sinusoidal coordinate plays an essential role.

The exactly solvable eigenproblems in Schrödinger quantum mechanics typically involve the differential "shift operators". In the standard supersymmetric (SUSY) case, the shift operator turns out to be of first order. In this work, I discuss a technique to generate exactly solvable eigenproblems by using second order shift operators. The links between this method and SUSY are analysed. As an example, we show the existence of a two-parametric family of exactly solvable Hamiltonians, which contains the Abraham–Moses potentials as a particular case.
