Abstract

We find that the analytical solutions to a quantum system with a nonpolynomial oscillator potential related to isotonic oscillator are given by the confluent Heun functions $H_{c}(\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta, \eta; z)$ . The properties of the wave functions, which are strongly relevant for the potential parameters a and g, are illustrated. It is shown that the wave functions are shrunk to the origin for a given a when the potential parameter g increases, while the wave peak of wave functions is concaved to the origin when the negative potential parameter $\vert g\vert$ increases. Moreover, the wave peaks of the even wave functions become sharper when the potential parameter $ a < 1$

decreases, but they become flat when the potential parameter $ a > 1$

increases. When the minimum value $V_{\min}=-g/a^2$ tends to zero, this nonpolynomial oscillator reduces to a harmonic oscillator.
