jl(x) are spherical Bessel functionsof order l and nl(x) are sphericalNeumann functions of order l .

while spherical Bessel functions arefinite at the origin, spherical Neu-mann functions are infinite andthus we again set Bl = 0

The exponential term serves tolimit the asymptotic behavior of thewavefunction

It remains only to determine thepolynomial “wavy part” of the solu-tion, v(ρ). This is done in the sameway as was the analytical solutionof the harmonic oscillator.

Quantum numbers and the Bohr radius

From the defining relation for jmax , it is possible to obtain constraints forthe azimuthal quantum number, l

Thus, if n = 1, both l and jmax must be zero. The lower bound for l isalways zero and it can at most be n − 1 when jmax = 0. In general
