Abstract

We show some interesting properties of tridiagonal and pentadiagonal matrices in the weak coupling limits. In the former case of this limit, the ground state wave function amplitudes are identical to the Taylor expansion coefficients of the exponential function e[Formula: see text]. With regards to transition rates, a dip in the pentadiagonal case which is not present in the tridiagonal case is explained. An intimate connection between energy denominators and exponential behavior is demonstrated.
