It is a solution in the sense that
a) if you substitute it on the left hand side of the reduced radial Schrodinger equation I wrote in the first post you get the right hand side. It's exact form depends on the potential V, but that doesn't not make it a solution
b) it is called the regular...
Thank you for your reply. I am already somewhat familiar with scattering theory. The stated book seems to suggest that there is a way to solve the equation using variation of parameters rather than Green's functions, but it seems to me at the moment that since the equation is similar to the...
Hello physicsforum, this is my first post
I am reading up on scattering theory and I'm having difficulty rederiving some of the results.
In 'Inverse problems in Quantum Scattering theory' (2nd Ed.) by Chadan and Sabatier they state that the solution for the s-wave regular solution, which is...
