Abstract
We study quantum system with a symmetric sine hyperbolic type potential \(V(x)=V_{0}[\sinh ^4(x)-k\sinh ^2(x)]\), which becomes single or double well depending on whether the potential parameter k is taken as negative or positive. We find that its exact solutions can be written as the confluent Heun functions \(H_{c}(\alpha , \beta , \gamma , \delta , \eta ; z)\), in which the energy level E is involved inside the parameter \(\eta \). The properties of the wave functions, which is strongly relevant for the potential parameter k, are illustrated for a given potential parameter \(V_{0}\). It is shown that the wave functions are shrunk to the origin when the negative potential parameter |k| increases, while for a positive k which corresponding to a double well, the wave functions with a certain parity are changed sensitively.
