Abstract

New compact triple series solutions of the confluent Heun equation (CHE) are obtained by the appropriate applications of the Laplace transform and its inverse to a suitably constructed system of soluble differential equations. The computer-algebra package MAPLE V is used to tackle an auxiliary system of non-linear algebraic equations. This study is partly motivated by the relationship between the CHE and certain Schrödininger equations.
