Abstract
New solutions for the elliptic Darboux equation are obtained as particular cases of solutions constructed for Heun's general equation. We consider two groups of power series expansions and two new groups of expansions in series of Gauss hypergeometric functions. The convergence of one group in power series is determined by means of ratio tests for infinite series, while the other groups are designed to solve problems which admit finite‐series solutions. Actually, we envisage periodic quasi‐exactly solvable potentials for which the stationary one‐dimensional Schrödinger equation is reduced to the Darboux equation. In general, finite‐ and infinite‐series solutions are obtained from power series expansions for Heun's equation. However, we show that the Schrödinger equation admits additional finite‐series expansions in terms of hypergeometric functions for a family of associated Lamé potentials used in band theory of solids.For each finite‐series solution, we find as well four infinite‐series expansions which are bounded and convergent for all values of the independent variable.
