Abstract

It is shown that a special case of the amplitude modulation method of von Neumann and Wigner for constructing local potentials and normalizable wavefunctions of bound states in the continuum, and the formal use of the Gelfand-Levitan theory lead to the same results. A possible application for complex-energy resonance models is indicated.

    We exemplify these features starting with the wave function of a free particle in the real positive semi-axis. We further extend this system by constructing a second BIC hence illustrating the procedure to find more intricate systems that support a finite [34,35] and infinite number [4,36,37] of BICs. To this end, we have organized the remaining of this article as follows: In Section 2 we describe the preliminaries of SUSY, point transformations, gauge invariance, and geometric phases in our framework.
